The team behind the PRIME research project presented a research poster at this year's annual conference of the Platform Privacy in Berlin. They presented the latest results of an online experiment in which design interventions were tested using video vignettes.
The results at a glance:
- The disclosure of the identity of AIs and bots via the chat function is well understood.
- Safety bubbles activated by default can protect against harassment in virtual spaces.
- Temporal reminders help users better understand what data is currently being collected and processed about them.
- Virtual data protection assistants and central consents in the sense of a personal information management system (PIMS) have so far failed to improve user information about collected data.
The latest experiment on the topic of the bystander effect in virtual spaces was also presented. Conference participants were able to take part in the experiment using VR headsets.
Two publications by the research team were also presented as part of the Platform Privacy:
- The contribution on the results of the focus groups appeared in the conference volume.
- The survey results were included as a short paper in the poster proceedings.
