Privado Open-Source

Privado Open-Source is a privacy-focused code scanning tool that runs locally via CLI, ensuring no code leaves the user's machine. It performs static analysis of source code to identify how personal data is collected, processed, and shared across an application. Key capabilities include: - **Data Flow Diagrams:** Tracks personal data flows from collection points to third parties, APIs, SDKs, and logs, generating visual diagrams shareable with privacy compliance stakeholders. - **Privacy Issue Detection:** Identifies common CWE and OWASP data security vulnerabilities such as data leakages to logs, insecure data storage, and excessive data sharing. - **Automated Privacy Reports:** Generates Play Store Data Safety, Apple Privacy Manifest, and Privacy Nutrition Label reports pre-filled with data from code scans. - **Compliance as Code:** Supports YAML-based policy files to define privacy guardrails, enabling developers to enforce privacy rules without manual assessments. Privado is designed to "shift privacy left," integrating privacy checks into the development lifecycle. It helps individuals and organizations comply with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. The tool is SOC 2 certified and available as open-source software via GitHub.
