After Edward Snowden's occasionally hilarious interview with British comedian John Oliver, we know that many people's main concern when it comes to privacy is the U.S. government's ability to see your private parts.

In the interview, Oliver goes through various U.S. government surveillance programs, asking Snowden to explain their impact on the average citizen in terms of dick pics, with results that are both funny and informative.

Now, software engineer and web designer Olivier Lacan has turned that info into a website, first noticed by The Verge -- cantheyseemydick.com.

The website is simple yet pretty useful, listing the impact of surveillance programs such as PRISM and MYSTIC as well as important sections of the Patriot Act and other regulations the U.S. government can use to gather data from private citizens.

Can the US government see your dick? In most cases, yes they can. http://t.co/dAsyj4zX5lReform the Patriot Act: https://t.co/Y8mY9Jka4h— Olivier Lacan (@olivierlacan) April 6, 2015

If you've seen the interview, you won't learn a lot of new information from the website, but it's a solid reference point if you ever need to go back and check exactly who can see your naked photos and how they do it.
