EAGER: Collaborative: Mapping Privacy and Surveillance Dynamics in Emerging Mobile Ecosystems: Practices and Contexts in the Netherlands and US

移动技术的日益普及给用户带来了独特的隐私和监控挑战。这些问题是全球性的，但用户、组织和政府应对这些挑战的方式因隐私文化规范而异。这个跨文化项目评估美国和荷兰的移动用户在使用移动应用程序时如何思考和做出有关隐私的决定。该项目的主要目标是提供数字时代隐私的思考方式以及与数字自我相关的实际实施方式，重点关注隐私、披露、移动性和监视之间的紧张关系。此外，这项研究强调了不同法律和文化框架中的隐私实践，为基础广泛的政策决策提供了重要影响。 该项目与荷兰伊拉斯姆斯大学的研究人员合作，分为三个阶段。第一阶段初步了解三个新兴移动生态系统的隐私意识和实践：健康和健身追踪（例如 Fitbit）、移动消息应用程序（例如 Whatsapp）和智能数字个人助理（例如 Siri）。基于这些发现，第二阶段涉及使用隐私小插图进行跨文化数据收集和分析，从而可以跨环境和文化识别和比较个人的隐私规范。第三阶段的重点是向主要利益相关者和政策制定者传播研究结果，并建立一个活跃于该领域的国际研究人员工作组。重点关注在隐私文化观念截然不同的两个国家如何概念化和实施隐私，这扩展了我们对移动隐私的情境本质的理解，“使 Helen Nissenbaum 在隐私方面的工作得以扩展为情境完整性”，同时也为采用“隐私设计”框架的研究人员和设计人员提供了实际意义。

The increasing ubiquity of mobile technologies creates unique privacy and surveillance challenges for users. These problems are global, but the way users, organizations, and governments approach these challenges varies based on cultural norms around privacy. This cross-cultural project evaluates how mobile users in the U.S. and the Netherlands think about and make decisions about their privacy when using mobile apps. The project's primary goal is to inform both ways of thinking about privacy in the digital age and practical implementations that pertain to the digital self, with an emphasis on tensions between privacy, disclosure, mobility and surveillance. Furthermore, this study highlights privacy practices across different legal and cultural frameworks, providing important implications for broad-based policy decisions.In collaboration with researchers at Erasmus University in the Netherlands, this project has three phases. Phase 1 develops a preliminary understanding of privacy awareness and practices across three emerging mobile ecosystems: health and fitness tracking (e.g., Fitbit), mobile messaging apps (e.g., Whatsapp), and intelligent digital personal assistants (e.g., Siri). Building on these findings, Phase 2 involves cross-cultural data collection and analysis using privacy vignettes, which allows for identification and comparison of individuals' privacy norms across contexts and cultures. Phase 3 focuses on dissemination of findings to key stakeholders and policymakers, and building an international working group of researchers active in this space. The focus on unpacking how privacy is conceptualized and implemented across two countries with very different cultural conceptions of privacy expands our understanding of the contextual nature of mobile privacy "enabling an extension of Helen Nissenbaum's work on privacy as contextual integrity" while also providing practical implications for researchers and designers employing a Privacy by Design framework.
