Show HN: Honest Privacy Policies – We Read the Fine Print So You Don't Have Tohttps://honestprivacypolicies.org/Hi HN, I’m AseemLast month, during my commencement for a Master's in Privacy Engineering at CMU, my friends and I were joking about the absurd volume of unreadable privacy policies we’d spent semesters dissecting. What started as a graduation joke stuck with me, and over the last few weeks, it transformed into this actual project.I’m personally very privacy-conscious—I self-host my NAS, run Immich for my photos, and try to self-host where I can. But completely decoupling from third-party services is nearly impossible. Even with a technical background in privacy and security, figuring out what a SaaS tool actually does with your data telemetry means wading through buried boilerplate that no one has time to read.I built HonestPrivacyPolicies.org to turn that text into structured, actionable insights.Would love your feedback. A few questions I've been asking ppl : 1. What would you love to see in a privacy policy (check our pp as well) 2. What questions do you want answers to when you givJun 5, 2026 10:17 PM
