What Ucontrol is

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 unattractive for the consumer to read it. This is due to the long texts, unappealing 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.
