What is Privacy

What is content privacy?

We often see the issue of content privacy being brought up when discussing the best plagiarism checkers.

Content privacy is essentially the policy of an application, organization, software or individual that deal with the data that can be shared with third parties.

When discussing plagiarism checkers, content privacy is the policy of a checker that determines whether your data/content is stored in their system and shared with third-party applications/organizations/individuals.

More often than not most mainstream plagiarism checkers store a user’s data and content without their knowledge.

Dangers of using plagiarism checker tools that do not ensure data privacy:

WeThough most users are unaware of such data privacy clauses, they are, in fact, extremely vital for people who wish to publish their papers or individuals who hold positions in academic institutions.

The dangers of using free plagiarisms checkers that share your data with third parties are:

1. False positives: If you’ve run your content through a checker that stores data, chances of your content being flagged as plagiarized are much higher than if you had used a plagiarism tool that does not store your data.

2. Data sensitivity: Sometimes, the data that you’re running through the free plagiarisms checker is sensitive and confidential. In times like these, it is essential that your data is not being stored in any databases nor is it shared with malicious third parties.
