PrivacySpy Firefox

PrivacySpy

PrivacySpy lets you know how the sites you visit handle your personal data. See privacy policies rated on a 10-point scale, as well as warnings when data breaches occur.

Features & Capabilities

PrivacySpy is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help users understand how websites manage their personal data. It provides privacy policy ratings on a 10-point scale, allowing users to quickly assess the transparency and trustworthiness of the sites they visit. Additionally, PrivacySpy alerts users to any data breaches associated with those websites, helping to keep your personal information secure.

The extension ensures user privacy by performing all data checks locally; it downloads a summary of its extensive privacy policy database and compares it against the sites you browse without sending your browsing activity to external servers. PrivacySpy is fully open source under GPLv3, promoting transparency and community trust. Discover more or contribute on its GitHub repository.

Is PrivacySpy Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

PrivacySpy requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
