SecureSpells: Privacy Risk Intelligence

About

Building SecureSpells to bridge the gap between "Legal Requirements" and "Engineering Reality." I help developers and agencies detect privacy risks (like Article 7 violations) before they trigger fines.

Privacy-by-Design sounded perfect… until it wasn't.

When building SecureSpells, I made a very intentional early decision: I didn t want to store any readable personal data.

No names. No plain emails. No passwords. Etc...

Unpopular opinion: Most cookie banners are technically fake. 🍪

I've been auditing different websites lately, and I'm finding that most of "compliant" banners still fire scripts before the user clicks Accept.

We get the legal requirements ("Prior Consent"), but the implementation seems impossible to maintain without breaking the UX.
