Demo Abstract: PARROT: Privacy by Design Tool for Internet of Things

Abstract

The design process for applications that make use of Internet of Things (IoT) can be more complex than for desktop, mobile or web-based platforms. IoT applications typically collect and analyse personal data categorised as sensitive. These data may be subject to a higher degree of protection under data privacy laws. We present PARROT (PrivAcy by design tool foR inteRnet Of Things) – an interactive IoT application design tool for privacy-aware IoT applications. PARROT enables developers to consider privacy compliance during the design process and provides real-time feedback on potential privacy concerns that may need to be considered. From a privacy compliance perspective, PARROT incorporates privacy-specific design features into the IoT application from the beginning rather than retrospectively.
