What it does
Eighteen guides cover questions about applicable laws, impact assessments, transfers, privacy rights, breaches, and AI systems. Open Why this question? to see the explanation and sources while answering.
Answers stay in the current tab. Sources missing or marked draft or superseded are blocked. You can copy the result and its source links for further review.
Run locally
Use Node.js 22.12 or newer. No sibling checkout or cloud service is required.

Build and check
npm test
npm run build
node scripts/verify-site.mjs
packages/privacy-guides/ holds the source package and legal-source records. integrations/privacy-guides/ holds interface adaptations. Changes must preserve decision IDs, source bodies, citations, numeric rules, and eligibility; the builder verifies reviewed source and runtime pins.
Limitations
These guides are decision aids, not legal advice. Check each guide's scope, dates, assumptions, and source qualifications. A citation does not establish that a guide covers your situation or that the law is unchanged.
License and credits
Code uses the MIT license, including the original Privacy Wizards Council attribution. Retain cited-source attribution and bundled third-party notices. The code license does not relicense cited texts or third-party artwork.
