## Abstract

In this report, we present an approach to enhance informed consent for the processing of personal data. The approach relies on a privacy policy language used to express, compare and analyze privacy policies. We describe a tool that automatically reports the privacy risks associated with a given privacy policy in order to enhance data subjects' awareness and to allow them to make more informed choices. The risk analysis of privacy policies is illustrated with an IoT example.
