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

移动的技术的日益普及为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了美国和荷兰的移动的用户在使用移动的应用程序时如何思考和决定他们的隐私。该项目的主要目标是为数字时代的隐私思考方式和与数字自我有关的实际实施提供信息，重点是隐私，披露，移动性和监视之间的紧张关系。此外，这项研究突出了不同的法律的和文化框架的隐私惯例，提供了广泛的政策决定的重要影响。在与荷兰伊拉斯谟大学的研究人员合作，这个项目有三个阶段。第1阶段对三个新兴的移动的生态系统中的隐私意识和实践进行了初步了解：健康和健身跟踪（例如，Fitbit）、移动的消息应用（例如，Whatsapp）和智能数字个人助理（例如，Siri）。在这些研究结果的基础上，第二阶段涉及跨文化的数据收集和分析，使用隐私小插曲，这使得识别和比较个人的隐私规范的背景和文化。第三阶段的重点是向主要利益攸关方和政策制定者传播研究结果，并建立一个活跃在这一领域的研究人员国际工作组。对隐私的概念化和实施在两个国家非常不同的隐私文化概念的重点解包扩大了我们的理解的上下文性质的移动的隐私“使海伦Nissenbaum的工作扩展隐私作为上下文的完整性”，同时也提供了实际意义的研究人员和设计师采用的隐私设计框架。

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.
