JF - Journal on Interactive Systems JA - JIS VL - 14 IS - 1 SE - DO - 10.5753/jis.2023.2954 UR - https://sol.sbc.org.br/journals/index.php/jis/article/view/2954 SP - 1-8 AB - <p>We present and analyze a new corpus comprising 82 privacy policies in Brazilian Portuguese collected from popular apps in Google Play Store called APP-BR. The contained documents are characterized by excessive lengths and poor readability. Analyzing their content reveals a severe lack of objectivity and compliance with the Brazilian General Data Protection Law. Our results shed light on the problems in accessing privacy information and are supposed to constitute a basis for finding a remedy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort to evaluate privacy policies according to the current Brazilian legislation.</p> ER -
