Secritly

Secritly is a browser extension designed to simplify the understanding of website privacy policies for users. By providing instant, plain language explanations of what data a website collects, why it is collected, and how it is shared, the tool aims to eliminate the need for users to interpret complex legal jargon before agreeing to terms. It is available for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox browsers, allowing users to access privacy insights directly within their browsing experience.

The extension offers one-click analysis of privacy policies on any website, delivering immediate feedback without requiring users to leave the page. Secritly generates a privacy risk score for each site, clearly indicating the level of concern a user should have regarding their data. The tool breaks down the types of data collected by each website, highlights instances of third-party data sharing, and provides a straightforward risk assessment. For example, it identifies sites that collect behavioral data and share with numerous partners, as well as those with minimal data collection and no third-party sharing.

Secritly features a privacy companion called Director Secrito, which guides users by analyzing and explaining privacy practices, tracking, and data sharing in a transparent manner. The service is free to use, requires no signup, and works instantly upon installation. Users can also subscribe to receive updates about new features and privacy insights. Secritly positions itself as a tool that makes privacy understandable and accessible for anyone concerned about how their data is handled online.
