PrivacyFlash-Pro
PrivacyFlash Pro analyzes iOS app code and libraries to help generate a privacy policy for the app.
About PrivacyFlash-Pro
PrivacyFlash Pro is an open-source academic research project from the privacy-tech-lab that analyzes the code of iOS apps written in Swift, along with their integrated third-party libraries, to help generate a privacy policy. The user points the tool at a Swift project directory, the analysis runs, and a guided questionnaire then leads to an exportable privacy policy. The project states that it is intended to help developers create privacy policies and make app privacy practices more transparent to users.
The tool only analyzes Swift app source code. It does not analyze iOS app source code written in Objective-C. It requires Python 3, since Python 2 is not supported. The repository states that it covers provisions of CCPA, CalOPPA, COPPA, and GDPR, but it does not say that a generated policy is compliant with any of these laws, so the output should be reviewed before use.
Key features
- Analyzes Swift iOS app source code to inform privacy policy content
- Analyzes Swift and Objective-C third-party libraries integrated into an app
- Library analysis works on both compiled and uncompiled libraries
- Guided questionnaire wizard to complete the policy after analysis
- Exports a generated privacy policy once the wizard is finalized
- Includes sample iOS projects for testing, such as the AdColony project
Best for: Developers of iOS apps written in Swift who want a generated starting point for an app's privacy policy.
Good for
