Privacy Destroyer

This project is made up of 3 primary components.

1. The App

An android app built in Kotlin that tracks your location in the background, sending updates at a set interval via requests to our web server. Location data is provided using Radar geofences, which allow the app to send an alert when the user moves between known locations and find the current location of the user at any given time.

2. The Web server

The web server is a Python Flask server listening for very simple requests that contain the current location of the user, the web server then invokes the Twitter bot to post a Tweet.

3. The Twitter Bot

Every time the web server receives a valid request, it sends the Twitter API a request to make a post detailing the current location and timestamp

I came up with the initial idea, set up the geofencing in Radar.io, and worked in our initial web server solution using Google Compute Engine, but we ended transferring to a different server setup due to issues we were having with Google’s.

I helped out with making the flask server to get the input of Radar. My phone was the main test phone for the android app

Enrico Blackwell
I was in charge of designing the app portion of our project. This is both my first experience with Kotlin and Android App Development, so we faced a lot of challenges with that. Since the app is not the focus of the project, only the tool for invoking it, the app was made to be very simple is hands-off. This allowed us to focus primarily on the functionality.
