Moving Beyond a "one-size fits all": Exploring Individual Differences in Privacy

As our lives become increasingly digitized, how people maintain and manage their networked privacy has become a formidable challenge for academics, practitioners, and policy-makers. A shift toward people-centered privacy initiatives has shown promise; yet many applications still adopt a "one-size fits all" approach, which fails to consider how individual differences in concerns, preferences, and behaviors shape how different people interact with and use technology. The main goal of this workshop is to highlight individual differences (e.g., age, culture, personal preference) that influence users' experiences and privacy-related outcomes. We will work towards best practices for research, design, and online privacy regulation policies that consider these differences.
