What is privacy in the 'internet of things'?
The Privacy Guide is a research project by Privacy First. And another 20 or so words here, something like this format then.
Modern cars are driving computers. They collect huge amounts of personal data and share it with car manufacturers and other commercial parties. How sharp do you steer through a corner? Do you ever let go of the wheel? How loud is your music? Added up, all the data tells more about yourself than you might think. We want to know what is actually collected, by whom and what happens to that data.
We connect cheap and rapidly produced technology to our home networks. The street is filmed with hackable doorbells. There are sensors in entrance gates, billboards and lampposts. Then everything is linked together and without us being able to oversee the consequences. Who will soon have access to that vast network of data points and what can it be used for? Who has an interest in such an ocean of data? We will investigate and publish that here.
How many steps do you take per day? What is your heart rate? And what is the relationship? What does that about your stress levels? In your mind, link to your browsing habits or app usage. It only takes a few data points to expose your personal life. With our smart watches, pedometers and headphones, we walk naked around town without knowing who can see. Privacy First reads the terms and conditions for you. We find out how data is linked and the risks of sharing it.
