Abstract
This paper provides a short survey on transparency tools for privacy purposes. It defines the term transparency tools, argues why they are important and gives examples for transparency tools. A classification of transparency tools is suggested and some example tools are analyzed with the help of the classification.
Part of the research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Program (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n 216483. The information in this document is provided “as is”, and no guarantee or warranty is given that the information is fit for any particular purpose. The above referenced consortium members shall have no liability for damages of any kind including without limitation direct, special, indirect, or consequential damages that may result from the use of these materials subject to any liability which is mandatory due to applicable law.
