For instance, the following URL-encoded string contains the latitude and longitude where a person is located: https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Flocation%3Flat%3D32.715736%26lon%3D%20-117.161087 If such a string is sent to a website, it can be concluded that it is collecting or sharing location data. Privacy Pioneer automatically detects such behaviors and shows them to the user. Privacy Pioneer's privacy practice analysis is based on a machine learning model as well as rule-based heuristics. When you install Privacy Pioneer, the model is served from our machine learning repo. Privacy Pioneer is implemented as a browser extension for Firefox (currently, the only browser we support).
