GDPR Similarity Comparison

This repo is a part of the report - Towards Automatic Comparison of Data Privacy Documents: A Preliminary Experiment on GDPR-like Laws 🔥

• We extract information from GDPR-like documents from different countries written in natuaral language and construct well-strucured data.

• The structured data are 4 columns including chapter, section, article and recital. This could benefit any future work that would like to explore GDPR-like using computational methods. 🚀

• This project is inspired by COSC-824 Data Protection by Design, Department of Computer Science at Georgetown University.

Data

We convert from PDF to Docx to CSV with well-structured style. Now, our data include GDPR-like documents from:

• European 🇪🇺
• Brazil 🇧🇷
• Indian 🇮🇳
• What next? 😉

Simply load the data into a dataframe in Python as following code.

import pandas as pd

file_path = "data/LGPD-ES-Brazil-converted.csv"
df = pd.read_csv(file_path) # columns: ["chapter", "section", "article", "recital"]
