The Service Privacy Test (SPT) ver 2.5

by GiP

The Service Privacy Test is a little something I made to gauge how privacy centered a service/software is. I test them under 3 sections: Accounts, Use of Service, and Miscellaneous. To use this give a service a score of 100 and add the following when applicable. Most of the options will be in increments between 5 to 20 as the first iteration of this test had huge negative scores for services that had them. All the grading I do will use this this test to it's full extent. I'll try my best to grade as much services as possible but you're free to do some grading yourself. Just make sure to share it to the world, will ya?

How to Use:

  1. Select a service or software.

  2. Give it a score of 100.

  3. Add the following when applicable.

  4. Record the score.

Additional notes:

- Accounts -

If the software/service functions without an account, you may skip this section

- Use of service -

- Miscellaneous -

===========================================================================

Once you've added all the numbers you should get a score between -200 and 140 (not exactly the numbers I had in mind when I made this but it is what it is). Personally I'd only use services that get a score of at least 40 assuming all 3 chapters are accounted for.
And remember this is only a guide, not a definitive Holy Scripture of sorts. Don't take the score you get here as an absolute and treat it more like a very well formed opinion. I also feel like this still has room for growth so might update this from time to time ;)
