- U control is a Chrome extension that is all about regaining control.
- For my graduation I researched the topic of privacy policy's. During my research I
- found out that a large proportion do not read these terms and thus have no idea what
- they are agreeing to. This document which should be for the user only makes it

- design and legal terms.

- By agreeing to this condition you lose some control over your personal data. I want - to give this piece of control and awareness back to the user with my tool. The tool - was created by and for the user because I listened to the user's needs for a change. - The tool helps you while reading because it simplifies the texts of conditions and - the legal meaning. -
-- With this tool, I'm not saying that you shouldn't use these big platforms like - Instagram and Facebook because of their long and difficult terms. I only want to - inform you as user about the dangers and then give tips on how he/she can turn off - certain functions so that less data is collected from you, for example. So we don't - have to be completely against privacy terms, we just need a fair transparent start. -
