This paper reports on a formal subject-based experiment, which seeks to evaluate the readability of privacy policy statements found on the Internet. This experiment uses 50 participants and privacy policies collected from 10 of the most popular web sites on the Internet. It evaluates, using a cloze test, the subjects’ ability to comprehend the content of these privacy policies. The paper also compares its results with the results from previous studies on this topic. In general, it finds that privacy policies are “difficult” to comprehend.
