Before signing up at a new site, check here to see if they sell your personal information. That way you can make a more informed decision before trying something new, without having to read through 50 pages of legal text (unless you enjoy such a thing).
It's also helpful to check the sites you already use, incase there is a way to opt-out of information selling that you weren't aware of before.
This site directly says they do not sell your private information. If they ever do, they would be violating their own privacy policy. Here's an example of a great privacy policy.
This site says that it sells your information, or shares it with others for marketing or other purposes. You may have the ability to opt-out of such sharing, but this is still misleading. If you have to opt-in, the site won't be listed as selling your information.
This site treats your personal information as an asset they may sell if they go bankrupt. If their policy had said they will never sell your information, then they couldn't do this. This is mainly a concern for young companies, as chances are sites like Google won't go bankrupt any time soon.
Privacy Parrot uses guided machine learning (AI) to classify a siteâs privacy policy. Based on a set of privacy policies and their classifications, our algorithms discover groups of words that strongly indicate the category to which a site should belong. It isnât perfect, but it generally does a good job of classifying a siteâs privacy policy broadly, and it's getting better all the time. We continually update privacy parrot based on feedback from people like you, and we appreciate your help in making the parrot smarter.
We got tired of confusing privacy policies and sites misusing our trust in unexpected ways. In a perfect world, your information would only be used exactly as expected, but in the real world, sites often have conflicting interests with the people who use them. No one wants to automatically be opted in to promotional offers, but that's a big way some sites make money, so it is in their best interest to hide that practice as much as they can. We're trying to make the process more transparent, so you don't have to worry about your privacy as much. Feel free to get in touch at info@privacyparrot.com.
We don't right now. We may offer additional services in the future, but we'll be sure to never make money from selling your information.
