Data Transparency Lab: David Choffnes tells us about the current status of Recon

As we move about the world with our mobile devices, companies are constantly gathering information about us. Part of the job of the Recon project is to understand what information is being gathered by which parties, give this information to individuals and allow individuals to regain control over what information is shared and with whom. My name is David Choffnes, I’m an assistant professor in the College of Computer and Information Science at Northeastern University. I’m also a member of the Cyber Security and privacy Institute and I’m also a grantee at the Data Transparency Lab.
