Training Developers' Privacy Awareness with Enforcement Cases
summary
Ace Privacy Detective turns FTC complaints (for example a 29‑page Primom complaint) into playable levels where investigators collect real evidence, assign cited facts into structured reports, and receive guided feedback that points to missing citations. Levels include distractor items and verbatim policy quotes and SDK event names. A between‑subjects study with 24 student developers shows the game boosts violation recall by 24% versus 10% for reading and improves reasoning completeness by 22% versus 12% for reading.
