TIMSE - Transparency in Multi-Service Environments

TIMSE - Transparency in Multi-Service Environments

In multi-service environments service providers are handling personal data. By means of privacy policies they provide an overview about how personal data is handled. Because of the complexity of the policies the data handling is not transparent. By introducing the General Data Protection Regulation the EU mentioned transparency as key element. Data controllers should provide users insights in how their data is used, stored and processed. This work designs timse as tool enhancing transparency in multi-service environments to support service developers for a transparent representation of the intended data handling.
