Interactions with online, mobile and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies generate intimate data about our lives and how we think, feel and behave. Products and services collect, share and combine large amount of user data including sensitive data such as personal health, income and religion data.

In this thesis, we use qualitative and quantitative methods to identify data practices of websites, trackers, aggregators and mobile apps, and assess their impact on user data privacy.
