TrackerControl allows users to monitor and control the widespread, | ||
ongoing, hidden data collection in mobile apps about user behaviour ('tracking'). | ||
|
||
To detect tracking, TrackerControl checks all network traffic against the Disconnect blocklist. | ||
This is the same list, that is used by the Firefox browser. | ||
This reveals the companies behind tracking to users | ||
and allows users to block tracking selectively. | ||
This blocklist also allows to expose the purpose of tracking, such as analytics or advertising. | ||
|
||
The app further aims to educate users about their legal rights under | ||
current EU Data Protection Law (i.e. GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive) | ||
|
||
Under the hood, TrackerControl uses Android's VPN functionality, | ||
to analyse apps' network communications locally on the Android device. | ||
This is accomplished through a local VPN server, through which all network communications | ||
are passed, to enable the analysis by TrackerControl. | ||
In other words, | ||
no external VPN server is used, and hence | ||
no network data leaves the user's device for the purposes of tracker analysis. |
