For whom is privacy policy written? A new understanding of privacy policies

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This article examines two types of privacy policies required by the GDPR and the PIPL. It argues that even if privacy policies fail to effectively assist data subjects in making informed consent but still facilitate private and public enforcement, it does not mean that privacy policies should exclusively serve one category of its readers. The article argues that, considering the scope and meaning of the transparency value protected by data privacy laws, the role of privacy policies should be repositioned to reduce costs of obtaining and understanding information for all readers of privacy policies.
