Description

During our daily and unrestful scrolling on the web, we give away pieces of information to big companies, that learn about us and promise us those information with them are safe.

I aimed to analyze the power dynamics between the User, the Company, and the Data. The outcome is both a cautionary tale and an informative guide on how to be mindful about our data.

While realizing this website I had the chance to experiment with new tools, such as Pandas for Python and D3.js.

This project was made during my Erasmus at Aalto University, following the Information Design course led by Rupesh Vyas.
