What it checks

PII keyword scanning

Detects 18 PII indicators: email, phone, name, address, salary, resume, identity, and more across actor name, description, and categories.

Platform ToS matching

Cross-references 13 major platforms with risk levels: LinkedIn/Facebook (HIGH), Amazon/Google/TikTok (MEDIUM), Reddit/Yelp (LOW).

Authentication wall detection

Flags actors that access content behind login walls — relevant to CFAA compliance in the United States.

Regulation mapping

Identifies which of 6 regulations apply: GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, CFAA, ePrivacy Directive, CAN-SPAM, PIPEDA.

Category risk assessment

Evaluates risk by Apify Store category — LEAD_GENERATION and SOCIAL_MEDIA are high-risk, SEO_TOOLS and NEWS are low.

Actionable recommendations

Specific steps like 'add opt-out mechanism for email collection' and 'document lawful basis under GDPR' — not generic legal boilerplate.
