TLDR
A model of privacy as a dynamic, dialectic process is outlined, and three tensions that govern interpersonal privacy management in everyday life are discussed, and these are used to explore select technology case studies drawn from the research literature.Abstract:
Although privacy is broadly recognized as a dominant concern for the development of novel interactive technologies, our ability to reason analytically about privacy in real settings is limited. A lack of conceptual interpretive frameworks makes it difficult to unpack interrelated privacy issues in settings where information technology is also present. Building on theory developed by social psychologist Irwin Altman, we outline a model of privacy as a dynamic, dialectic process. We discuss three tensions that govern interpersonal privacy management in everyday life, and use these to explore select technology case studies drawn from the research literature. These suggest new ways for thinking about privacy in socio-technical environments as a practical matter.read more

Value Sensitive Design and Information Systems
TL;DR: Value sensitive design as discussed by the authors is a theoretically grounded approach to the design of technology that accounts for human values in a principled and comprehensive manner throughout the design process, which employs an integrative and iterative tripartite methodology, consisting of conceptual, empirical, and technical investigations.

Privacy and human behavior in the age of information
TL;DR: This Review summarizes and draws connections between diverse streams of empirical research on privacy behavior: people’s uncertainty about the consequences of privacy-related behaviors and their own preferences over those consequences; the context-dependence of people's concern about privacy; and the degree to which privacy concerns are malleable—manipulable by commercial and governmental interests.

Can You See Me Now? Audience and Disclosure Regulation in Online Social Network Sites
TL;DR: The prevailing paradigm in Internet privacy literature, treating privacy within a context merely of rights and violations, is inadequate for studying the Internet as a social realm as discussed by the authors, which is not the case in the real world.

PEIR, the personal environmental impact report, as a platform for participatory sensing systems research
Min Mun,Sasank Reddy,Katie Shilton,Nathan Yau,Jeff Burke,Deborah Estrin,Mark Hansen,Eric J. Howard,Ruth West,Peter Boda +9 more
TL;DR: The running PEIR system is evaluated, which includes mobile handset based GPS location data collection, and server-side processing stages such as HMM-based activity classification (to determine transportation mode); automatic location data segmentation into "trips"; lookup of traffic, weather, and other context data needed by the models; and environmental impact and exposure calculation using efficient implementations of established models.

Genres of Organizational Communication: A Structurational Approach to Studying Communication and Media
JoAnne Yates,Wanda J. Orlikowski +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose the notion of genres of organizational communication as a concept useful for studying communication as embedded in social process rather than as the result of isolated rational actions.

The platform for privacy preferences
TL;DR: It is believed users' confidence in online transactions will increase when they are presented with meaningful information and choices about Web site privacy practices, and P3P is not a silver bullet; it is complemented by other technologies as well as regulatory and self-regulatory approaches to privacy.

Design for privacy in ubiquitous computing environments
Victoria Bellotti,Abigail Sellen +1 more
TL;DR: A framework for design for privacy in ubiquitous computing environments is described and an example of its application is described, with a description of how the technology attenuates natural mechanisms of feedback and control over information released.
