Aeon

Aeon is an application that fits very well with the rising importance of privacy. It makes it easier for the user to search for personal information that might be scattered on the internet without your knowledge. The app will help any user download and identify personal information.

Since new legislations have been passed around the world, the state in most areas of the globe will allow the user to request access to personal data that is retained by companies and other third parties. Aeon simplifies the process required to gain that access.

The program itself looks modern, with a couple of labeled sections on the left. You'll be required to add the account of the platform you'll want to ask for your personal information. You can either use preset app forms for services such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Spotify or create a specific entry for a certain service you know has implemented the required API for the recovery procedure to be successful. Once the application gets to searching, it will show the discovered data, allowing the user to download and store the files in JSON or CSV form.

Now, once you've seen what the internet knows about you, Aeon can send messages to these various services requesting the removal of the discovered data. You can also have them modify the information. The application contains an e-mail generator that is tailored to this very specific request. All of this semi-automates the process of improving your privacy without wasting too much time. In terms of functionality, the functions are labeled correctly, the app is efficient and fast and third-party app integration is flawless.

Aeon might not be a tool to be used by all users. For those who are more concerned with their privacy, and more precisely with the personal data that has ended up online, this program simplifies the process of gaining more control over these aspects of your online life.
