I have built a browser extension that checks sites for compliance with real data protection laws. It also summarizes privacy policies and flags dark patterns.

Essentially I have built this database using statutes like the Uganda Data Protection and Privacy Act of 2019. The extension checks the data being collected by a site, any third parties used by the site, and what they declare in their terms. It then compares that information with the statutory requirements of the user's jurisdiction. And you can also download the report which is in pdf format.

The extension also summarizes terms into short, brief, and easy to read text.

I work in cybersecurity and originally built this for my own use. About two weeks ago, I realized it would serve no purpose sitting on my computer, so I remodelled it for other users and published it on the Chrome Store. Here is the URL https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/consentinal/iolibolmcpilpdnplnjigfmlcalaheho .

I would like to hear what you might think of it, and any thoughts shared will be highly appreciated.
