Bachelor Thesis: Designing a User-friendly Interface for the Definition of Context-aware Privacy Policies
Title:
Designing a User-friendly Interface for the Definition of Context-aware Privacy Policies
Description:
Due to progress in the development of mobile communication, location-based services, which
provide a multitude of services through the user’s positional data, have recently taken on im-
portance. Those location-based services can be divided into two groups: The reactive services,
on the one hand, that are explicitly requested by the user. Then the current location of the
mobile device is send to the corresponding server. Pro-active services, on the other hand, work
through continuous, automatic location tracking in the background, and react to such events as
entering and leaving geographical zones. Today’s technologies in mobile devices are enabling
precise location determination whenever and wherever. Many location-based services, such as
navigational systems, provide a significant increment value for many users and are therefore
not to be missed from everyday life. Nevertheless, those services also increase privacy concerns
of consumers because misuse of personal data by public and private facilities has increased, as
well. Missing trust and limited possibilities to control, especially while using proactive ser-
vices on mobile devices - which data is send when and why - are posing a central problem
when it comes to the acceptance of location-based services. A special privacy-framework
would offer a solution by providing individual device-based privacy policies. Hereby the user
gets the option to decide when, where and in how precise his location information is sent to
a external service. The generation and administration of such policies, however, should not be
too complex and opaque for the ordinary user. That is why new privacy policies should be
simple, intuitive, and possible to be created in a reasonable amount of time. The purpose of
this thesis, therefore, is to pose a draft and implementation for a user-friendly administration
of individual privacy policies for mobile location-based services on the Android platform. To
test the acceptance and applicability of such policies, the user interface was integrated into an
already existing geofencing system. The evaluation has shown that the acceptance of individu-
al device-based privacy policies for location-based services in connection with a user-friendly
and efficient administration has been very high.
