What is ThinkPrivacy?
ThinkPrivacy is a chrome extension that empowers users to take control of their online privacy. It analyzes websites and assigns them privacy grades (A+ to F) based on their data collection practices and privacy policies.
When you visit a website, ThinkPrivacy will display an icon in your browser toolbar indicating the site's privacy grade. Hover over the icon to see details of what data the site collects and how it uses that data. For sites with low privacy grades, ThinkPrivacy will suggest similar or alternative websites that have better privacy protections.
Some key features of ThinkPrivacy include:
- Easy to understand privacy grades so you can see at a glance how much data a site collects
- Summaries explaining what data is collected and how it's used
- Suggestions of alternative sites and services that are more privacy-friendly
- Customizable settings so you can control which types of data tracking most concern you
- Ability to dig deeper into a site's full privacy policy from the extension
ThinkPrivacy is designed for non-technical people who care about their privacy but find privacy policies complicated and confusing. With its simple grading system and alternative suggestions, it puts more power in the hands of everyday users to control their online privacy.
