Privacy Research: A Mixed Methodology Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes our experiences researching privacy of incidental information using a mixed methodology approach. An on-line survey examined privacy concerns related to the incidental viewing of traces of previous web browsing activity. Topics examined include the scope of the privacy issues in this domain; how browsing behaviours affect the content that may be visible; and the role of content sensitivity, level of control, and viewer on privacy comfort levels. Two field studies allowed us to examine how participants felt in terms of privacy about specific instances of visible content (the web pages they had visited that day) and to examine patterns in the application of privacy levels to that content. This detailed information was necessary to explore the feasibility of possible privacy management approaches.
