Abstract
This paper formulates a new task of extracting privacy parameters from a privacy policy, through the lens of Contextual Integrity (CI), an established social theory framework for reasoning about privacy norms. Through extensive experiments, we further show that incorporating CI-based domain-specific knowledge into a BERT-based SRL model results in the highest precision and recall, achieving an F1 score of 84%. With our work, we would like to motivate new research in building NLP applications for the privacy domain.- Anthology ID:
