    Description/Abstract:
    According to Peacock, data collection methods are becoming increasingly invasive. The preservation of information is shifting from a technological problem to a moral dilemma. As a result of this growing problem and concern, we decided to work on a solution addressing this. Our solution’s aim would give back some control to users who wish to still use the internet, without having as much of their data collected. By researching and developing different tools that protect a user’s data and privacy, we were able to develop Curtain. Our application, Curtain, serves to provide a centralized platform for privacy tools. There are several tools that we implemented into our application: blocking web tracking (including data such as user behavior in and outside of a website), blocking ads, bypassing AdBlock detection messages, deleting cookies, and a dashboard for easy access to settings and usage data. Our results and progress on the matter means that it is possible to centralize tools which made it easier for users to have more control over their privacy and data without needing to do additional research.
