Abstract

The Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) is a W3C specification that can be used to build useful protocols and services for protecting user privacy on the semantic Web. An outstanding issue is the need for a simple and efficient representation and management of consistent sets of rules for user privacy preferences. Thus we describe a model for privacy preference representation and management that has a number of desirable properties which are lacking in privacy preference models proposed thus far. We detail semantics and properties of matching preference rules with requests. We specify the properties of a consistent set of privacy preferences, and propose maintenance operations. Finally, we describe an implementation of our proposal that uses OWL (Web Ontology Language) and the Jena reasoning engine to illustrate the practicality of managing consistent user preferences in privacy rule-sets. An important advantage of our approach is that the user is encouraged to clarify privacy preferences as he/she modifies them as part of a back-end management task, as opposed to mainly at website interaction times.

Predicting Mobile App Privacy Preferences with Psychographics
WPES '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM on Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society

Using a multi-country data set of over 600 survey participants, we show that psychographics and various attributes of the mobile app context are predictive of user privacy preferences. In particular, we find that a user's decision-making style is ...
