Comparing Privacy Notices with Help Documentation
A privacy notice and a help page can answer different questions. Neither should be read as a complete description of every technical behavior.
Keeping Privacy Terminology Precise
Anonymization, pseudonymization, aggregation, and encryption describe different processes. Confusing them can overstate protection.
What to Do When Information Is Missing
Missing documentation does not prove either that a practice occurs or that it does not. The gap should be stated.
When a Policy and an Observation Disagree
A single observation may have several explanations. A discrepancy deserves investigation without premature certainty.
Verifying Claims About Data Collection
A collection claim should identify what information is involved and how the claim was established.
Handling Conflicting Data-Practice Claims
Conflicting sources may describe different versions, regions, or parts of a service. Agreement should not be assumed.
Why Units and Definitions Matter in Research
Numbers can mislead when the unit, denominator, or definition changes. A count is meaningful only in context.
Building an Accurate Data-Practice Comparison
A comparison needs consistent definitions and equivalent scope. Empty cells should remain unknown rather than becoming assumptions.
Separating Privacy Marketing from Evidence
Words such as secure, private, and anonymous need context. Marketing language alone does not establish a technical property.
