How does the vendor scanner work? | Privasee Help Center

This applies to customers on the following plans:

The platform will run a vendor scan every month on the domains that you have configured in Settings > Company > General

It will compare the tools and third parties found with those already existing in your Tools and Third Parties page.

Tools not already in your inventory or archived will be added to the New Tools Found section.

You can:

Add to Inventory - which will load recommendations for connected processes, data types and individuals to add them to your inventory (see Google Analytics example below).
- Adding a tool to your inventory may affect your Cookie Banner, Cookie Policy or Data Processing Agreement depending on its recommended information.
Dismiss them which will prevent the Scanner from asking for it again. If you want to reset your dismissal list, get in touch with support.
