The big idea
AI is great at summarizing privacy policies, but the choice of what to share is still on you.
Some examples
- Prompt: 'Summarize this fitness app's privacy policy in 5 bullet points, focused on what gets shared.'
- Ask AI to flag any third parties the app sells data to.
- Have AI explain HIPAA and why fitness apps usually aren't covered by it.
Try it!
Find one fitness app you use. Paste its privacy summary into AI and ask: 'Do they sell my data?'
