  1. Privacy and User Trust in Context-Aware Systems Saskia Koldijk1,2, Gijs Koot2, Mark Neerincx1,3, Wessel Kraaij1,2 (1) (2) (3) • www.swell-project.net

  2. Recent trends Big data, advances in sensing, smartphones, ubiquitous user modeling… • Definition Privacy: “boundary control process in which individuals regulate when, how, and to what extent information about them is communicated to others” [2]. • Definition CAS: “use of environmental elements by applications to personalize their service for the user” [1]. • www.swell-project.net

  3. How to build a privacy-friendly CAS? • Outline of this talk • Introduction context aware SWELL system • Privacy Impact Assessment • How to apply Privacy by Design • User study: • Effects of Privacy by Design, on • Trust • Attitude towards using the system • Results • www.swell-project.net

  4. How to build a privacy-friendly CAS? • Outline of this talk • Introduction context aware SWELL system • Privacy Impact Assessment • How to apply Privacy by Design • User study: • Effects of Privacy by Design, on • Trust • Attitude towards using the system • Results • www.swell-project.net

  5. SWELL Problem to address: Knowledge workers often experience stress building up, which in the worst case results in burn-out.

  6. SWELL Workload Mirror to look back at the day: I work in the office from 9 till 5. I perform knowledge work. My work is demanding. I often feel so tired.

  7. SWELL tool: Workload Mirrorto manage well-being at work 2) Intelligible information is provided as feedback to help adjust behavior and improve well-being. 1) Working behavior is captured with sensors and the system learns to interpret this personal data. Overview of: Can collect: Computer activity Tasks Content worked on Posture Mental effort/ energy Facial expressions Self reports Stress

  8. Outline • Introduction context aware SWELL system • Privacy Impact Assessment • How to apply Privacy by Design • User study: • Effects of Privacy by Design, on • Trust • Attitude towards using the system • Results • www.swell-project.net

  9. Privacy Impact Assessment • Detect potential privacy problems • before the development of a new technology • Question catalogue • www.swell-project.net

  10. Results: Important privacy aspects (1) • Goal of data collection • The goal of data collection should be clearly described. • The user should have a clear view on what the system does and how the data is used. • Type of data • The user must know which data is collected. • Which data is collected and processed will be kept to a minimum to enable required functionality. • The data should be stored as aggregated as possible. • The system should provide an alternative means to provide data (e.g. manual user input). • Reactions to the system • The user should be aware of his privacy settings. • User control • The user must give permission to collect data, based on a well-informed decision. • The user should be able to see his own data and delete data. • www.swell-project.net

  11. Results: Important privacy aspects (2) • Quality of the data • The system should give correct information. • The user should be able to check and correct the data. • Security of the data • The data should be stored as locally as possible. • The data should be encrypted. • Others should not have access to your data. • Data responsibilities • An security plan should be established to prevent unauthorized access. • All involved parties should adhere to the security plan. • Data sharing • When the user voluntarily shares data, it should be shared in line with the user’s expectations. • The user must know who (if applicable) will have access to the data • www.swell-project.net

  12. Outline • Introduction context aware SWELL system • Privacy Impact Assessment • How to apply Privacy by Design • User study: • Effects of Privacy by Design, on • Trust • Attitude towards using the system • Results • www.swell-project.net

  13. Privacy by Design Cavoukian (2012) Hoepman (2012) • Outlined privacy aspects can be addressed from the developers side! • Apply 8 Privacy Design Strategies • CAS follows current privacy legislation  • ‘Privacy Patterns’ used for implementation • www.swell-project.net

  14. 8 Privacy Design Strategies (+ patterns) strategy 1. Inform • Informed consent • Privacy Dashboard 2. Control • Privacy Choices 3. Minimize • Pseudonyms • Anonymization (k-anonymity) 4. Separate • Decentralisation • Horizontal/ vertical data separation pattern Hoepman (2012) • www.swell-project.net

  15. 8 Privacy Design Strategies (+ patterns) 5. Aggregate • Aggregate over time • Blur personal data 6. Hide • Authentication • Store data encrypted 7. Enforce & 8. Demonstrate • Sticky Policies Hoepman (2012) • www.swell-project.net

  16. Outline • Introduction context aware SWELL system • Privacy Impact Assessment • How to apply Privacy by Design • User study: • Effects of Privacy by Design, on • Trust • Attitude towards using the system • Results • www.swell-project.net

  17. Effect on Users’ Attitudes • 124 participants • Presentation SWELL system • Between subject design: Privacy information (yes/no) • Questionnaire on: • Transparency • Privacy/ Trust • Attitude towards use of the SWELL system • Hypothesized model: • www.swell-project.net

  18. <Privacy group> Privacy by Design • Purpose limitation: The collected data is only used for giving yourself insightsto enable self-management. • Control: You can enable or disable the computer logging, camera or Kinect sensors. • Data minimization: The tool only processes data that is necessary to provide the functionality that you desire, e.g. the tool will use document content only when you want an overview of topics worked on. • Data aggregation: The sensor data is processed locallyon your device. Only summary information, like topics, average posture or facial expression, is stored – no keystrokes or video. • Adequate protection: Your data is hidden from unauthorized access. • Data subjects right: You have full control over your data, can view or delete it.

  19. Installing SWELL <Privacy group> • Goal of the SWELL tool: Supporting self-management of stress. • You can enable or disable functionalities as you wish, such that the SWELL tool optimally supports you with functionality that you desire. • E.g. you can decide if you want to share (parts of) information with others.

  20. Installing SWELL <Control group> • Goal of the SWELL tool: Supporting self-management of stress. • You can enable or disable functionalities as you wish, such that the SWELL tool optimally supports you with functionality that you desire. • E.g. you can decide if you want to share (parts of) information with others.

  21. Outline • Introduction context aware SWELL system • Privacy Impact Assessment • How to apply Privacy by Design • User study: • Effects of Privacy by Design, on • Trust • Attitude towards using the system • Results • www.swell-project.net

  22. Results • Privacy information had a positive effect on perceived privacy/ trust in the SWELL system • Attitude towards using the SWELL system was • notrelated to perceived privacy/ trust!! • related to personal motivation! (*significant on the .05 level, ** significant at the 0.01 level) • www.swell-project.net

  23. Conclusions • There are users that state privacy concerns; nevertheless they are going to use the system (when they have personal motivation) • ‘Privacy paradox’, also found in related work • It is important to implement Privacy by Design to adequately protect the privacy of the users! • The 8 Privacy Strategies are an easy start point for developing privacy friendly CAS, use them  • www.swell-project.net
