This scans websites to check that they use adequate security measures and to alert you to third party trackers, such as those belonging to advertising or analytics companies.

Both tools use crowdsourcing to harness the experience and expertise of the public, with users encouraged to rate apps and websites. Privacy flag then analyses this data together with automated security and privacy evaluations to make their recommendations.<\/p><p>The key challenge here is that crowdsourcing itself bears inherent privacy risks; the mere fact that someone is evaluating a certain website, or that they are doing so from a certain location, might compromise sensitive information. Further, even when data is encrypted, the way it is sent can give away a lot of information; would-be eavesdroppers can profile users by analysing when and how often the data is transferred, how much of it there is and how long it takes to transfer. And once the data arrives at the Privacy Flag servers we cannot assume that these are entirely trustworthy, so it needs to remain anonymous there.<\/p><p>SnT\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/staff.asu.edu.eg\/cis-166\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Karim Emara<\/a> (now Ain Shams University, Egypt),\u00a0Dr. Stefan Schiffner and <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/snt\/people\/marharyta_aleksandrova\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Marharyta Aleksandrova<\/a> therefore supported the Privacy Flag software developers in analysing the server\u2019s security and implementing state-of-the-art anonymization techniques, preventing anyone \u2013 including Privacy Flag itself \u2013 from gleaning any personal information from these communications.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/07\/privacy_flag_4.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/07\/privacy_flag_4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/07\/privacy_flag_4.jpg 450w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/2; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"supporting-companies-in-compliance\"\n    >\nSupporting Companies in Compliance<\/h4>\n<p>In addition to supporting citizens, Privacy Flag also encompasses a <a href=\"https:\/\/privacyflag.eu\/pf-tools\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">second set of tools<\/a>, aimed at helping companies ensure GDPR compliance.

Yes, you need lawyers to explain the legal text, but the legal text only makes sense if the lawyer understands the technical state of the art. You also need experts in user interface to ensure that the tools are user friendly; you can have the best consent text in the world from a technical and legal perspective,\u00a0for example, but if it isn\u2019t clear then you can\u2019t use it as the legal basis for processing data.\u201d<\/p><p>Judging from the enthusiastic reception of the tools \u2013 which are currently in beta testing \u2013 so far, there is high demand for trustworthy technology to help us maintain our privacy online.<\/p><p><\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s early days for the GDPR, but the regulation, along with recent high-profile cases such as the Facebook\/Cambridge Analytica fallout, has already had a big impact on the public consciousness.
