Description
Discover and control what data is collected about you by Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The IoT is everywhere. It consists of a myriad of devices and technologies that collect data about us - from cameras with facial recognition, to smart speakers that record what we say, or sensors that track our whereabouts. The IoT Assistant app helps you discover what data is being collected about you and how it is used. This includes who is collecting it, who it is shared with, and whether there are any privacy controls. New privacy regulations around the world require people who deploy IoT technologies to disclose their data collection and use practices and to also give us some control over these practices such as opting in or out of them. The IoT Assistant app provides users with a single interface through which they can discover IoT data collection around them and access available privacy controls. The IoT Assistant app also allows you to receive customized notifications about data collection and use practices you want to be notified about and control the frequency of these notifications.
An IoT portal associated with the app (https://www.iotprivacy.io) is available to also publicize the presence of IoT technologies collecting our data, whether you are the administrator controlling that technology or a volunteer contributor. Once you have defined an entry for an IoT technology through our portal, IoT assistant app users can discover this IoT technology and its data collection and use practices.

The interface is clean and easy to use, quite interesting to see the surrounding cameras. Look forward to more data and functions.

A great app for privacy conscious people like me! I love the extensive privacy options I can exercise as well as the considerable catalog of IoT resources the app has.

First off, this app states exactly what it will do. They spell out exactly why they need you to create an account with their app. They are completely up front in regards to what they will do with your data both during and after the research study. Before I created my account, I read their entire terms of service. In my opinion, absolutely nothing stood out that would have caused me any alarm or unease. I was able to create my account within seconds, and also verify my account within seconds.

The app requires you to create an account and fill out a survey. It also requires email verification but that does not work so all in all the app is basically useless spyware.

Create account/verify account/return to app/create account/ verify....... 😴 Endless loop, this app does not work.

Signed up fine but not data on the maps. Even went to Carnegie Mellon U, and it showed no data.
