I'd also love to see tools like: https://github.com/npdoty/privacyicons in use everywhere, or even a version of the twitter firehose but for privacy policies, if we were able to get more of the industry to post their privacy policies & TOS on github

Yeah, putting a privacy policy into Markdown format and on Github would be a good opportunity to also collaborate on its machine-readable and graphical representation. @m0hit, @schimmy_changa -- would you be interested in including a P3P or some nutrition-label-schema representation of the Clever policy in a forked version of this repo?

@npdoty JSONSchema for education technology policies is something I've been thinking about and I'd love to build that as part of these documents.

This is great - I think this kind of transparency before now has pretty much been constrained to very tech-heavy industries instead of education and healthcare.

Hmm, here's the tweet that caused the response, might be useful if you want to put pressure on a different organization in the future: https://twitter.com/funnymonkey/status/518554007069941761

Any updates to the README.md ? How do you plan to push notifications to stakeholders? Can they comment on PRs before merging to master?

Also, LICENSE file might be good

We're working on the LICENSE file for this repository. Push notifications will be sent to schools using email, and they can of course comment on the PRs (since the github page is linked from the bottom of our privacy policy).
