The ubiquitous availability of online services and mobile apps results in a rapid proliferation of contractual agreements in the form of privacy policies. Despite the importance of such consent forms, the majority of users tend to ignore them due to their content length and complexity. Thus, users might be consenting policies that are not aligned to regulations in laws such as the GDPR from the EU law. In this study, we propose a hybrid approach which measures a privacy policy’s risk factor applying both supervised deep learning and rule-based information extraction. Benefiting from an annotated dataset of 115 privacy policies, a deep learning component is first able to predict high-level categories for each paragraph. Then, a rule-based module extracts pre-defined attributes and their values, based on high-level classes. Finally, a privacy policy’s risk factor is computed based on these attribute values.
