    electronically obtaining the computer code based on the location provided by the particular user;

    automatically electronically analyzing the computer code to determine one or more privacy-related attributes of the computer code, each of the privacy-related attributes indicating one or more types of personal information that the computer code collects or accesses; and

    in response to determining that the computer code has a particular one of the one or more privacy-related attributes;

    (A) executing the steps of;

    (i) electronically displaying one or more prompts to a first individual requesting that the first individual input information regarding the particular privacy-related attribute;

    (ii) receiving input information from the first individual regarding the particular privacy-related attribute; and

    (iii) communicating the information regarding the particular privacy-related attribute to one or more second individuals for use in conducting a privacy assessment of the computer code;

    (B) changing an indicator associated with the code to indicate that, before the code is launched, the particular attribute should be reviewed by one or more designated individuals; and
