=true is a project that explores privacy policies and the inaccessibility of important information that is buried within these lengthy documents. This project aims to educate people about the excessive data that is being collected from each person as well as explores the consequences of voluntarily uploading private information in exchange for convenient services or websites. This project features branding, a poster series, a video, an infographic, a mock-up policy layout, an editorial, and personas.
When you create an account to use a service or a website, you are obligated to read and agree to the company’s terms and policies before it is made available to you. This is often strategically placed right before you can access the service and as a result, you choose to ignore the contract and just click agree. These concessions are a small price to pay for convenience, but do you know the extent of information being collected about you?
