1. A system comprising:
an Internet of Things (IoT) resource for remotely sensing data about a user; and
a computing device of the user, wherein the computing device comprises a processor that executes a personal privacy app (“PPA”) that:
receives data about the IoT resource, wherein the data about the IoT resource comprises user-specific privacy settings to control data practices associated with the remote sensing of the data about the user by the IoT resource; and
communicates a preference setting for the user with respect to the IoT resource, wherein the preference setting is based on the data received about the IoT resource, and wherein the IoT resource applies the preference setting to its collection and processing of data about the user.
