Demo Abstract: PriviFy: Designing Tangible Interfaces for IoT Privacy Configuration

As Internet of Things (IoT) devices can gather sensitive data from users, it is essential that users configure their privacy preferences to protect their data. Users, however, have difficulty configuring their privacy settings due to the numerous complexities involved. We follow design space recommendations and present PriviFy (Privacy Simplify-er), a novel tangible interface that simplifies the configuration of smart devices' privacy settings. PriviFy enables users to modify their data privacy preferences using interactive knobs and buttons. PriviFy also emits lights and displays messages to confirm user choices. PriviFy’s goal is to simplify the complexity of privacy configuration and empower users to regain control over their privacy in the IoT. Consequently, users would be able to make more informed and conscious decisions about how their data is shared. Demo Video (https://youtu.be/sgnE9zCVQT0)
