You probably want to use the "has_table_privilege" family of functions.

Look here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/functions-info.html

Privileges are stored in the catalog tables but not is a terribly useful format for querying, which is why the helper functions exist.  If you want to look at it though, look at pg_class.relacl.
