Towards a Deconstruction of the Privacy Space

When designing for or discussing privacy, it is critical to identify the conditions that create a system’s or phenomenon’s privacy implications. We present a set of interdependent dimensions that, when applied to the analysis of a privacy-related system or phenomenon, can expose the factors that determine the role of privacy therein. This can help focus the scope of discourse and the design of privacy in the HCI and ubiquitous computing communities.
