When it comes to our online and application use, information security is one of the biggest issues today. The internet is an open market for information and many disclosures the world takes little or no time to read. With this app our user will be able to track their online profile and see what information is available for the public. The app accesses permissions from your devices to keep a list of other applications that have your personal information. It breaks down privacy disclosures and flags the user when their information is being handled differently.
After research and evaluations of our audience the app will not only serve as a tool for the user, but an application that educates and informs. Many do not know enough about online privacy and security to take regular action, and the app will help deliver news and notifications concerning this topic. In this way, the app will become of greater use, and the world will be more informed.

Target Users
This app will target anyone with an online presence or user of a mobile device (iPhone, Android, MacBook, etc.). It is a tool for the high school student as well as their teachers and family. Everyone is concerned with digital and online security and providing a way to access all of the information simply in one place is an application that can be used of every background and age.
Competitive Audit
There are little to none security apps available on the market today. The majority provide protection from viruses and malware, not your online profile.
Proposed Design Solution
Create an app that allows it’s users to view their privacy agreements and policies with other companies in a simplified organized way. The app will also help alert the user when their policies change, or news events occur around cyber security. They will be able to view their overall online profile/information being shared across all platforms: photos, logged messages, personal information, and more.
