Abstract
A user of a client device accesses a service provided by a server computer. The server computer gathers data about the user. The data gathered may be kept private by the server computer, shared only with other computers and users owned by the same entity, shared with selected third parties, or made public. The server computer provides a privacy policy document that describes how the data gathered is used. A privacy server analyzes the privacy policy document and, based on the analysis, generates a privacy score. The privacy score or an informational message selected based on the privacy score are provided to the client device. In response, the client device presents the privacy score or the informational message to the user. In this way, the user is informed of privacy risks that result from accessing the server computer.
