“…The threat-model leads to a view of privacy as a protective measure. Thus designers have proposed privacy-by-design frameworks and approaches (e.g., Langheinrich 2001, Scipioni 2012, particularly in the field of ubiquitous computing. Some have even drawn up taxonomies of information harm (Solove 2008).…”

Abstract. In this paper we examine the notion of privacy as promoted in the digital economy and how it has been taken up as a design challenge in the fields of CSCW, HCI and Ubiquitous Computing. Against these prevalent views we present an ethnomethodological study of digital privacy practices in 20 homes in the UK and France, concentrating in particular upon people's use of passwords, their management of digital content, and the controls they exercise over the extent to which the online world at large can penetrate their everyday lives. In explicating digital privacy practices in the home we find an abiding methodological concern amongst members to manage the potential 'attack surface' of the digital on everyday life occasioned by interaction in and with the networked world. We also find, as a feature of this methodological preoccupation, that privacy dissolves into a heterogeneous array of relationship management practices. Accordingly we propose that 'privacy' has little utility as a focus for design, and suggest instead that a more productive way forward would be to concentrate on supporting people's evident interest in managing their relationships in and with the networked world.

“…Much literature focuses on the dangers of revealing personal details (e.g. where you go or what you buy) to remote parties and how to protect your financial interests and be safe from undesirable surveillance [41]. Yet Consolvo and colleagues note that the findings of their study on revealing location to friends were 'quite different, for example, than giving one's home address to a business' [13], challenging this model.…”

While social isolation in an ageing population is a concern in many locations, it is greater in towns where divisive local geography and declining investment conspire against meeting places and mutual awareness. This research into the design of location-based tools to support sociality asks whether embedded digital tools that make neighbourhood activities and/or people's movements more visible have the potential to increase serendipitous encounters and deepen a sense of community cohesion. Taking to the streets of a small town to explore if digital tools might improve the situation, we used participatory and provocation methods to inspire engagement with the theme and compare design concepts for sociality. Participants showed great passion for the town and its people, but also caution about publicly revealing even basic information, because of anticipated local consequences. They preferred an indirect approach.We use these insights to analyze "place" and discuss the specifics of designing for sociality in challenging contexts.

“…There is a vast number of publications on privacy concerns in location-sharing [2,3,6,7,9]. However to make the information shown on the screen of a smartphone more abstract and private against blunt "shoulder surfing" intrusions is not part of the research when addressing privacy issues in location sharing.…”

In this paper we report on a participatory design study with young girls. Our goal was to create a mobile phone app to display the spatial proximity of friends in an abstract and privacy-aware manner. A group of 16 girls worked along the user-centred design process to create initial paper-based designs of an app that respects one's friends privacy while displaying their proximity to allow for spontaneous meetings or re-grouping after separation. Our participants created very promising results which we intend to implement and evaluate further against a broader audience.
