Most prominent research today addresses compliance with data protection laws through consumer-centric and public-regulatory approaches. We shift this perspective with the Privatech project to focus on corporations and law firms as agents of…
With the advent of the data era, and of new, more intelligent interfaces for supporting decision making, there is a growing need to define, model and assess human ability and data visualizations usability for a better encoding and decoding…
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has become a touchstone model for modern privacy law, in part because it empowers consumers with unprecedented control over the use of their personal information. However, this same power may be…
There has been an explosion of research on differential privacy (DP) and its various applications in recent years, ranging from novel variants and accounting techniques in differential privacy to the thriving field of differentially private…
We identify two major steps in data analysis, data exploration for understanding and observing patterns/relationships in data; and construction, design and assessment of various models to formalize these relationships. For each step, there…
Transparency regarding the processing of personal data in online services is a necessary precondition for informed decisions on whether or not to share personal data. In this paper, we argue that privacy interfaces shall incorporate the…
Differential privacy enables general statistical analysis of data with formal guarantees of privacy protection at the individual level. Tools that assist data analysts with utilizing differential privacy have frequently taken the form of…
With the fast development of Information Technology, a tremendous amount of data have been generated and collected for research and analysis purposes. As an increasing number of users are growing concerned about their personal information,…
The emergence and evolution of Local Differential Privacy (LDP) and its various adaptations play a pivotal role in tackling privacy issues related to the vast amounts of data generated by intelligent devices, which are crucial for…
In modern times, people have numerous online accounts, but they rarely read the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy of those sites, despite claiming otherwise, due to the practical difficulty in comprehending them. The mist of data privacy…
User behavior records serve as the foundation for recommender systems. While the behavior data exhibits ease of acquisition, it often suffers from varying quality. Current methods employ data valuation to discern high-quality data from…
Differential privacy (DP) has become the de facto standard of privacy preservation due to its strong protection and sound mathematical foundation, which is widely adopted in different applications such as big data analysis, graph data…
Differential privacy (DP) is a neat privacy definition that can co-exist with certain well-defined data uses in the context of interactive queries. However, DP is neither a silver bullet for all privacy problems nor a replacement for all…
Website privacy policies are too long to read and difficult to understand. The over-sophisticated language makes privacy notices to be less effective than they should be. People become even less willing to share their personal information…
In real-world applications, domain data often contains identifiable or sensitive attributes, is subject to strict regulations (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR), and requires explicit data feature engineering for interpretability and transparency.…
Machine learning based classifiers that take a privacy policy as the input and predict relevant concepts are useful in different applications such as (semi-)automated compliance analysis against requirements of the EU GDPR. In all past…
A potentially powerful method of social-scientific data collection and investigation has been created by an unexpected institution: the law. Article 15 of the EU's 2018 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) mandates that individuals…
Technology is shaping our lives in a multitude of ways. This is fuelled by a technology infrastructure, both legacy and state of the art, composed of a heterogeneous group of hardware, software, services and organisations. Such…
We introduce a new model for evaluating privacy that builds on the criteria proposed by the EuroPriSe certification scheme by adding usability criteria. Our model is visually represented through a cube, called Usable Privacy Cube (or UP…
In response to calls for open data and growing privacy threats, organizations are increasingly adopting privacy-preserving techniques such as differential privacy (DP) that inject statistical noise when generating published datasets. These…
