Abstract

Personal identifying information is released without much control from the end user to service providers. We describe a system to scrutinize the stated claims of a service provider on safeguarding PII by interrogating their infrastructure. We attempt to empower end users by providing means to communicate their privacy concerns in a common language understood by the service provider, allowing them to set baseline privacy practices for service providers to adhere to, and providing a means of retrieving information from the service provider in the common language to base their PII release decisions.
