From official material to a working record

Official material sets the basis

Official UK and EU sources set the information subjects and transparency expectations for direct and indirect collection.

The tool prepares the operational record

The checker locates relevant wording consistently, keeps exact quotations and exposes missing or uncertain subjects for a responsible reviewer.

Official sources stay visible

Each supported check shows its jurisdiction, source title, source version and review date beside the result. Unsupported cases are rejected rather than estimated.

Questions before you use the tool

Scope, files, evidence and browser-local handling.

Does found mean the privacy notice is compliant?

No. Found means relevant wording was detected for review. It does not establish accuracy, completeness, clarity or legal sufficiency.

Can the checker read a scanned PDF?

No. The file must contain extractable English text. Image-only scans require a separate review route.

What changes in the EU route?

The EU route checks EU representative wording where relevant, third-country safeguard access, supervisory-authority complaints and Article 14 timing.

Is the notice uploaded?

No. The file, extracted text, quotations and generated reports remain in this browser.
