Just skip this terrible usability nightmare and read the original list instead at [1]. FWIW, I used Ctrl+F to search around (for, in my case, my country name).<p>And the 100 dollar question: is this better or worse than an average bank from your_country? I have <i>no clue</i> about my own bank. Reading through this list, it seems I should <i>get a clue</i> about my own bank.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paypal.com&#x2F;ie&#x2F;webapps&#x2F;mpp&#x2F;ua&#x2F;third-parties-list" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paypal.com&#x2F;ie&#x2F;webapps&#x2F;mpp&#x2F;ua&#x2F;third-parties-list</a>

The tree visualization was kind of cool, so I turned it into a library called d4tree.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;shawwn&#x2F;d4tree" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;shawwn&#x2F;d4tree</a><p>Throw it any JSON data whose structure is isomorphic to <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;rebecca-ricks.com&#x2F;paypal-data&#x2F;data&#x2F;paypal.json" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;rebecca-ricks.com&#x2F;paypal-data&#x2F;data&#x2F;paypal.json</a><p>Here&#x27;s an example of how to use d4tree on your site:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;shawwn&#x2F;d4tree-paypal" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;shawwn&#x2F;d4tree-paypal</a><p><pre><code> git clone https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;shawwn&#x2F;d4tree-paypal cd d4tree-paypal yarn &amp;&amp; yarn dev </code></pre> Make any changes you want to paypal.json, then refresh <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;localhost:1234" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;localhost:1234</a> to see them.

this is actually worse than the source. for whatever reason, the chart appears super zoomed out for me, so the text is tiny. but even if there wasn&#x27;t a font issue, the source is already clear as it is that a flowchart style diagram isn&#x27;t going to help.

Understanding privacy policies and terms of service has become a nightmare. I wish there was a standard privacy format, which companies could use to define and update their privacy policies. That way, it ll be easier for people to understand<p>1. What personal data is being used ?<p>2. What kind of data do websites store in your browser cookie ?<p>3. Which are the 3rd party tools &#x2F; services used to share data ?<p>4. Who are the 3rd parties, the data is being shared with.

This interface is incredibly hard for me to use. I&#x27;m having to do a lot of scrollbar fighting and I can&#x27;t figure out how to see the nodes beyond the edge of the frame.

A list-based would probably just fine... as the user interface...

Cool idea but on Firefox Focus on Android, it is almost unusable.

If I zoom in enough to have readable text, the branches below the middle are unreachable via scrolling (Safari). Something is very broken with this presentation.

something like workflowy or coggle would work much better for this type of thing
