MINOS: A tool to analyze HTTP requests for compliance to GDPR

Many of the currently available services and commodities extensively share personal data and digital identities, raising privacy, security and ethical concerns. In this paper, we present a novel software, MINOS, designed to enhance users' privacy awareness while browsing the web. Our approach combines a user-friendly browser with a backend tailored to record and analyze HTTP requests directed to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). As opposed to other available tools, our solution uniquely addresses the issue of data transfers to third countries. Preliminary simulations have yielded promising results and clear directions for further research and development of the tool.
