Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for managing privacy policy violations may include obtaining, by the computing device, an intermediate representation of a privacy policy, wherein the intermediate representation denotes a formal policy and is generated by extracting the privacy policy in natural language from a website and parsing the privacy policy. The method may also include comparing, by the computing device, behavior of the website against the intermediate representation, thereby detecting at least one violation of the formal policy. The method may further include enforcing, by the computing device, the formal policy at least in part by taking a security action in response to the violation. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
