Studying the relationships between the management of personal data privacy and user interface

Abstract

Despite technological efforts that have been implemented so that users can navigate on the Internet with increased control of the privacy of their information, results are not always as expected. The lack of information security culture and the inconsistency of preventive or corrective interfaces among common applications create confusion in people and insecurity about the use of their information by third parties. Some researchers have suggested that the application of learning styles to build interfaces can facilitate users' cognitive ergonomics. This paper presents the current relationship between the management of personal data privacy, user interface and learning styles through an ethnographic study. These relationships suggest a model to navigate among these components and improve user experience. © 2013 Springer International Publishing.
