Abstract
A privacy policy is nothing more than a legal document for a website. It describes the company’s specifics, visitors’
perspectives on the data, and establishment methods. It is an essential component of every website, and firms need to ensure
that it is factual and understandable even to laypeople. Continuous data collection from data subjects through digital infrastructure
is a widespread practice involving numerous stakeholders. This presents significant concerns regarding data protection and user
privacy. The main objective of a privacy statement is to inform us about handling personal information acquired during the visit to
a website/mobile application. Many Platforms make use of this privacy policy for their business development. Here we analyse
the privacy policy of the leading brands and the economy from our user data. This article aims to provide awareness to the user
about the usage of his data with his concern.
