Transparency, privacy and trust – Technology for tracking and controlling my data disclosures: Does this work?

Abstract

Transparency is a basic privacy principle and social trust factor. However, in the age of cloud computing and big data, providing transparency becomes increasingly a challenge. This paper discusses privacy requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for providing ex-post transparency and presents how the transparency-enhancing tool Data Track can help to technically enforce those principles. Open research challenges that remain from a Human Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective are discussed as well.
