EAGER: Transparency Bridges: Exploring Transparency Requirements in Smartphone Ecosystems

透明桥梁对美国和欧盟之间隐私态度的差异进行了跨文化调查，作为探索用户控制机制设计要求的一种手段。我们（1）调查智能手机生态系统中目前可用的机制，以告知人们收集和使用其个人数据，（2）研究这些机制如何符合美国和欧盟的数据隐私法律的框架，以及（3）分析不同的机制如何响应两个司法管辖区的要求。我们的方法是基于跨文化（美国-欧盟）的，野生用户研究，根据欧盟或美国的法律的框架适用于他们，以隐私期望、偏好和对这些生态系统内和整个生态系统中不同个人数据的关注的形式分析人们的隐私行为。本研究的结果将（a）有助于澄清生态系统提供商在塑造隐私治理方面的作用;（B）美国和欧盟法规中最受欢迎和信任的特征和因素，以及在使用依赖于收集和使用其个人数据的服务时最有效地满足人们需求的特征和因素;以及（c）为智能手机生态系统中的一些利益相关者，包括立法者、监管机构和公司，概述法律的和政策建议，这些建议在考虑解释和实施现行规则以及改革规则的必要性时可能有用。

Transparency Bridges undertakes a cross-cultural investigation of the differences in privacy attitudes between the US and the EU, as a means of exploring the design requirements for user control mechanisms. We (1) investigate the currently available mechanisms in smartphone ecosystems to inform people of collection and use of their personal data, (2) examine how these mechanisms comply with US and EU data privacy legal frameworks, and (3) analyze how different mechanisms respond to requirements in both jurisdictions.Our approach is grounded in a cross-cultural (US-EU) in-the-wild user study to analyze people's privacy behavior in the form of privacy expectations, preferences, and concerns of different pieces of personal data within and across these ecosystem according to which - EU or US - legal framework is applicable to them. The outcome of this study will (a) help clarify the role of ecosystem providers in shaping privacy governance; (b) the features and factors within US and EU regulations that are most preferred and trusted and are most effective in addressing people's needs when making use of services that depend on the collection and use of their personal data; and (c) outline legal and policy recommendations for a number of stakeholders in the smartphone ecosystem, including lawmakers, regulators, and companies which can be useful when considering interpretation and implementation of current rules, and the need for reformed ones.
