Privado automatically discovers the following privacy information in our scans:

  1. Data Elements
  2. Third-Party Integrations
  3. APIs
  4. Permissions for Mobile Apps


You will see the list of your code repository where scans have finished under the Repositories tab:




Click the repository name to see the scan results. It will take you to the repository detail page. 




Overview:

The overview section of the repository page displays the privacy information on the left like Purposes of Processing and gives you a summary of data processing like total data elements processed, third-party integrations. It also gives you a list of active privacy issues created by Privado because of new code changes.


Data Elements:

Navigate to the Data Elements section by clicking on the tab or View all data elements. Privado discovers all personal data being processed by your products or applications and categorizes them into data categories. We also assign a sensitivity to each data element that goes in the overall risk calculation of the repository.


At the top, we give an overview of the total data elements discovered along with a count of data categories and sensitive data elements. The data element table gives you the following attributes to sort, filter:

  1. Data Element: The data element we discovered in the code repository
  2. Category: The category to which data element belongs to, this is configurable. This category is used in reporting like Records of Processing Activity(RoPA) report or a customer-facing privacy policy
  3. Confidence: Categorizes the discovered data elements in two buckets, High and Low confidence. High confidence data elements are accurate most of the time and Low confidence data elements are wrong most of the time
  4. Sensitivity: A configurable value to denote the risk of data elements. This allows you to add context to data elements like location data is personal data under GDPR but in your company's context could be of high risk to your users and you should mark it as High Sensitivity. 
  5. Occurrence: These are locations in your code where we discovered the data element. You can click on it to see the exact location of the data element in your code. We label the identified code as yellow, you can copy and share occurrences internally for further investigation


Viewing data element in code:

Click on the occurrence of the data element you want to see and it will open the code location where we found the data element:



Use the arrow buttons to see other occurrences. The confidence of each discovery is listed at the bottom. You can also give feedback on the discovery and improve future results.
