What is ETALON?

ETALON is an open-source privacy engineering platform designed to help developers, security teams, and AI agents identify privacy risks directly within application code and infrastructure. The tool operates as a high-performance Rust-native command-line interface that scans projects for tracking technologies, sensitive data patterns, and regulatory compliance issues. Its core functionality is powered by a six-scanner intelligence engine that examines multiple layers of an application’s architecture simultaneously. These scanners analyze source code imports, database schemas, configuration files, server-side tracking implementations, DNS-based CNAME cloaking techniques, and customizable detection rules. ETALON maintains a large intelligence registry of more than 111,000 tracked domains and thousands of vendor profiles, enabling it to accurately detect third-party services and analytics tools. The system highlights potential privacy violations, such as trackers firing before user consent or insecure cookie policies. Each finding is enriched with contextual explanations, Git history references, and specific GDPR articles relevant to the issue. In addition to auditing codebases, ETALON can scan live websites using a headless Chromium environment to observe actual network behavior and verify consent enforcement. The platform can also generate comprehensive GDPR privacy policies automatically based on the technologies detected in the project. Through integration with AI development tools via the Model Context Protocol, coding assistants can automatically audit pull requests and suggest compliance fixes. This allows privacy checks to become part of the automated development workflow rather than a manual review step. By combining static code analysis, live web scanning, and AI-native integrations, ETALON provides a powerful toolkit for building privacy-aware software systems.
