The project team is developing an Android app as a personal data manager for balancing privacy protection and enhanced travel experience. It is an app offering enhanced awareness to the user and recommendations on how to manage travel-related data sharing activities. The app will be released for public testing in due time.
The project team is building a computational ontology to describe how travellers share different types of personal data with other people and various organisations (including but not limited to travel service providers and online social networks). Please let us know if you are interested in collaborating with us to improve the ontology.

If you are interested in participating or working with us to recruit participants, please get in touch with the team.
