The instrumented waste bin I predicted at the San Francisco Personal Data meetup a couple years back is now a thing. While researching GeniCan I naturally had to go read their privacy policy. It was there that I stumbled onto a service that lets you generate a privacy policy from a workflow. You fill in some data and select from several options, it generates a custom policy from an inventory of templates that it fills in and assembles. It can make policies for your web site, Facebook app or mobile app. Easy. Simple. Free.
Sounds awesome, right?
You were waiting for the “but”?
