This paper aims to inform design strategies for regulating privacy in coworking spaces. Coworking spaces are growing at a high rate, yet studies related to the social, psychological, behavioral and physical needs associated with these environments are limited. The growth of coworking spaces is in greater part facilitated by a drive towards greater interaction and collaboration among the workfor...

It is well understood that processing personal data without effective data management models may lead to privacy violations. Such concerns have motivated the development of privacy-preserving systems and legal frameworks such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation. However, there is a disconnect between policy-makers and engineers with respect to the meaning of privacy. In addition, it is...

In the context of third-party social apps, the problem of interdependency of privacy refers to users making app adoption decisions which cause the collection and utilization of personal information of users’ friends. In contrast, users’ friends have typically little or no direct influence over these decision-making processes. We conduct a conjoint analysis study with two treatment conditions wh...

Concerns of users about privacy of their personal data are of higher and higher importance to online Service Providers (SPs), as they turn into a major barrier for broad acceptance by users of services that are known to collect and utilize their personal data. With the P3P standard (Platform for Privacy Preferences), in the context of web-based applications, users are allowed to keep control ov...

Privacy is one of the most important and difficult research issues in ubiquitous computing. It is qualitative rather than quantitative. Privacy preserving mainly relies on policy based rules of the system, and users cannot adjust their privacy disclosure rules dynamically based on their wishes. To make users understand and control their privacy measurement, we present a scheme to quantize the p...

Over the last two decades, privacy has been fading away. Some people have even stated: You have zero privacy – get over it! As privacy researchers, we are not willing to accept this statement. Therefore, we analyze the causes for this fading away of privacy, and develop a set of approaches to preserve or even regain privacy. We argue that Privacy 3.0 should be a combination of (1) Data minimiza...

Mobile applications frequently access personal information to meet user or business requirements. Developers are, in turn, often required to align their code with a privacy policy or to create the privacy requirements to specify the collection and use of personal information. However, it is challenging for a regular programmer to create code complying with a privacy policy. To aid app developer...
