Uma solução para verificação do uso de dados pessoais em formulários Web

Abstract

With the growth and dissemination of the Web and social networks, the need arose to get to know users better in order to attract them with the best possible strategies. There is considerable effort on the part of companies to obtain data that can contribute to this knowledge base. Thinking about protecting people’s personal data, the government proposed and passed the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), which aims to protect citizens’ personal data. However, even with the aforementioned law, companies have been continuously asking for personal data protected by the LGPD, without paying attention to the principles described in the aforementioned law. In this context, this work aims to propose a solution for verification of Web forms, which analyzes the requested personal data. This solution features the development of a specific Crawler that extracts and categorizes the data, in addition to making the personal data found for analysis available. This solution evaluated 50 websites from different segments, and the results presented indicate not only the worrying amount of personal data commonly requested in simple forms, but also which data are most requested.
