Goodbye, terrible, jargon-filled, tiny-font legalese we like to call a privacy policy. Lookout is launching "Private Parts," an open-sourced, customizable toolkit to help developers implement visual, user-friendly privacy policies. Instead of a mystifying wall of text, we wanted to create broad industry change and transform privacy policies into a clear, simple design that uses visual cues to allow users to understand how an app collects and shares their data.

Had a positive reaction

Preferred to see the null states under “Data Shared”

Couldn’t find, “We don’t sell your personal data”

Weren’t sure you could click the null states

Looked for the long form link in the top nav

You guys are on the right track with this. When it's more informative you

put a lot of the concerns and the worries to rest. You feel safer

because everything is up front.

Read the blog

I think if a privacy policy was that way then everybody's policy would

get read. It would help a lot of people out if it looked like this.

Read the blog

I’d like to see more of the applications and programs I use

use a form like this to present their privacy policies.

Read the blog

I think this signifies a company that is very conscientious. A company

that cares about people’s privacy is aware of people’s concerns about

how their information will be gathered, shared, and used.
