Reimagining Privacy Policies

We are experimenting with a tool for consumers to manage the privacy policies of websites.

Privacy policies typically change over time making it challenging for consumers to know exactly which version of a policy applies to them. This makes it difficult to hold corporations accountable for violating their privacy promises.

Our idea is to save a copy of the privacy policies of visited websites. This will give consumers a permanent archive of the editions that applies to them. If a corporation violates its privacy policy, the users will have a track record as reference.

We believe such records of privacy policy editions will result in increased respect for the privacy rights of consumers. The goal isn't to encourage litigation, but to provide the incentive for honesty and respect.

We believe in privacy by design, so naturally recorded privacy policies is kept securely encrypted with nobody else having access, including us, the provider of the service. What websites you're visiting is your business.

We keep a digital timestamp and hash of the recorded privacy policy on blockchain, so in case of legal action, the applicable policy at any time can be proven in the court of law.

We'd appreciate your feedback about the idea and hope you'll give us a thumbs up to take it forward.

There are only a few things you can do in this initial version, so please consider what it may become and let us know what you'd like to see:

  • Sign in on the page. You may have to create an account if you don't yet have authenticated with Blockstack.
  • Click the Save Privacy Policy button. It will permanently save a personally encrypted copy of the privacy policy on the page.
  • Log out using the button in the top right corner. This returns you to the starting point.
  • You can open this dialog at any time by clicking the on the application bar.
