is an online knowledge repository about digital tracking, profiling, algorithmic decisions, and privacy that focuses on the societal implications of the commercial use of personal information.
In a first step, we are building a curated research database. Think of it as a multitude of reading lists on different topics combined with a database of annotated and tagged publications, from news articles to blog posts to academic papers to policy reports.
Start with the topics overview and check out a first set of publications on mobile tracking, location data, fitness apps, credit scoring, student monitoring, face recognition, genetic data or China's social credit system.
Tracking the Trackers is hosted by Cracked Labs, a nonprofit organization based in Vienna. Learn more about the project and our future plans.
