Do Not Track is a different kind of documentary: The film about data trackingcan be personalized, so it's different for every viewer.

After you log into Do Not Track online, it tracks your every move and then tells you a creepy amount of info about yourself. The sinister-seeming quality is meant to drive in the overarching point of the docu-series: that your every move is easy to track through the Internet. Give the project a try and you might be surprised at how much data you're inadvertently broadcasting to the world.

In the end, Do Not Track is about informing the public, too. The filmmakers want you to know how you can protect yourself, what with the absence of effective privacy legislation and a government agencies that are always watching.
