Step 1: Upload or Link the Privacy Notice

Start by uploading the privacy notice as a file or simply providing a link to the notice on the website. We’ve made this step as flexible as possible to fit your workflow.

• Upload a File: Drag and drop a document in Word or PDF format.

• Paste a Link: Enter the URL of the website where the privacy notice is hosted.

Our system takes it from here, initiating an in-depth scan of the document and the website itself.

Step 2: Website Context Scanning

This is where our technology begins to shine. We don’t just review the privacy notice in isolation; we analyze the context of the entire website to understand what the company does and how visitors can interact with the website.

• Data Collection Analysis: Our system identifies what types of data are being collected (e.g., IP addresses, cookies, form submissions).

• Usage Patterns: It looks at how this data is likely being processed, whether for analytics, marketing, or other purposes.

This contextual understanding ensures the privacy notice aligns with what the website is actually doing.

Step 3: Legal Analysis Based on EDPB Guidelines and CJEU Decisions

We’ve built a legal analysis layer to do the heavy lifting for you. Using the latest guidance from the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) and rulings from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), our system:

• Identifies Purposes: Matches website activities to standard purposes for data processing, such as advertising, analytics, or improving user experience.

• Suggests Legal Bases: Recommends the most appropriate legal bases for each identified purpose, basing its analysis on official EU guidelines and case law.

Step 4: Issues Report and Suggested Changes

Once the analysis is complete, you’ll receive:

• Issues Report: A comprehensive report outlining the areas where the privacy notice does not align with the website’s data processing activities or legal standards. The issues are categorised as critical, important, and recommendations.

• Proposed Changes: Actionable recommendations for improving the notice by suggesting changes and additions to the text. Each suggestion is accompanied by an explanation.

These results are designed to save you time while maintaining a high level of accuracy and reliability.

Step 5: Finalize and Download

To give you complete control, our platform allows you to review and edit the proposed changes directly within the interface. Once finalized, you can download the issues report and the updated privacy notice in Word format, ready to be implemented.
