The problem Simplyfi solves

We have divided problem into two categories

  1. B2C i.e. for internet users
  2. B2B i.e. for businesses
    Now lets explain it elaborately:
    • B2B
    o The problem of manually searching through piles of privacy documents affects not only legal team but the organization as a whole. The impact of this is a lengthy skimming process, missing documents, and high costs of lawyers.
    o A successful solution would provide an online database with search filters that make it easy to analyse risk of retrieving data from different origin and answer the privacy question in simple YES or NO.
    • B2C
    o In this era of Internet, data is being generated and collected every second, by a user doing any kind of task on the web, be it working on an office job, working on a project or as simple as watching a YouTube video. And this data is being collected by the websites you surf on a regular basis, and being used or shared. This is all mentioned in the privacy policies of these websites, but for a common man, it is hidden behind all the jargons and legal terms.
    o Our project is working on providing a solution to this problem, by bringing forth the relevant information from these privacy policies in a clear and concise, summarized manner so that it can be understood by everyone, in an effort to increase awareness among people regarding how their data is collected and used.

Challenges we ran into

Our major focus was to keep the tech stack of the solution simple so that it become fast and interactive which is challenging for us but we did using python flask server and team work.
Along with that processing a bulk of database was a great hurdle for us but we used the concept of online learning to train huge datasets and again deploying the application on server with trained weights was a major roadblock for us.
