Facilitating Privacy Conversations with Vulnerable Populations

Abstract

In recent years, designers, engineers, policy makers, and regulators have taken considerable interest in the design of emerging systems to incorporate privacy perspectives of diverse populations, including vulnerable populations. The development and deployment of accessible and easy-to-use tools to facilitate conversations about privacy and data expectations for diverse end-users is an important step in including such perspectives. In this position paper, we reflect on the role of a tool we developed and used in two recent projects to inquire into the data expectations of two vulnerable populations: people with disabilities and youth in the workplace.
