“…This is illustrated by discussing two possible individual strategies: Firstly, how withdrawal from the market or avoidance, and secondly, how complete reliance on market-provided privacy protections or assimilation, may result in fewer privacy options available to society at large. The conclusion discussed how acknowledging the collective dimension of privacy could provide more meaningful alternatives for privacy protection (Barth, 2022). Meanwhile, consumers feel they know what to share or not, therefore they are in control of their personal information.…”

PurposePrivacy is a sensitive issue in business because it involves how a platform uses consumer personal data. In terms of consumer rights, personal information needs to be protected in the privacy policy (PP). This study describes several aspects of the PP that consumers need to pay attention to, especially points prone to misuse of personal information.Design/methodology/approachThis research used a taxonomy of consumer privacy concerns in e-commerce to reveal general and specific privacy concerns. The privacy calculus theory was also applied to explore consumer rationalization using (1) consumer knowledge about PP, (2) subjective perception, and (3) proximity to the PP features. Furthermore, the netnographic approach was used to combine the interrelation between technology and social construction. A sample of 378 young consumers in several major cities in Indonesia participated online and offline. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted to gain more in-depth comprehension.FindingsThe results showed that most young consumers have sufficient basic knowledge of the important points of PP. Furthermore, they tend not to read the PP because it is long and cumbersome, and therefore do not wish to expend much cognitive effort on it.Originality/valueThis study provides several results that can be utilized by policymakers or e-commerce companies to pay more attention to PPs for young groups. In addition, e-commerce companies can increase the knowledge of the privacy situation of Internet users in general.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-11-2022-0740

“…Martin and Murphy (2017) emphasize that consumers have a positive tendency to share data with service providers supporting data ownership. Psychological ownership reflects how consumers value their data, resulting in a positive attitude toward disclosure (Barth et al, 2022). The ability to manage own data and determine the level of disclosure facilitates favorable opinions about the organization.…”

“…With biographic data, consumer willingness is high due to the transparency associated with data usage. Transparency in data management is critical to induce customers to disclose information (Barth et al, 2022). Lack of transparency leads to an unbalance in privacy, as sharing biometric data with third parties occurs without obtaining the customer's explicit consent.…”

“…This study offers a novel doctrine, the uncontrollable privacy paradox (see Figure 2), acknowledging the unbalanced privacy of consumers in sharing biometric data in the metaverse. In doing so, we address the call of scholars (Barth et al, 2022;Gotsch and Schögel, 2021;Kokolakis, 2017;Masur, 2023), offering a holistic understanding of the privacy paradox. The demarcation of privacy paradox from biographic to biometric data strengthens the privacy paradox literature and its position in the dynamic metaverse environment.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the implications, risks and challenges of data privacy due to the use of immersive technology in the hospitality industry. Design/methodology/approach The authors adopt a mixed-method approach. Study 1 is a focus group. The authors then provide external and ecological validity with a field experiment conducted with 139 hotel clients at a three-star continental European hotel. Findings Collecting biometric data results in unbalanced privacy compared to biographic data, as it diminishes individuals’ control over their data and grants organizations absolute power. This unbalanced privacy directly influences consumers’ willingness to disclose information, affecting their choice of hotels and access to services. Practical implications Hotels should redesign their strategies to accommodate heightened privacy risks with biometric data. This can be obtained by introducing systems that foster customer confidence in data usage and facilitate customers’ willingness to disclose biometrics through immersive technology or biographic data. Originality/value This study introduces unbalanced privacy as a unique state due to sharing biometric data. The authors propose a novel doctrine, the uncontrollable privacy paradox, which is a shift from the privacy paradox. The uncontrollable privacy paradox addresses the unbalanced privacy envisaged through consumer powerlessness in data management. This research addresses the literature gap on the privacy paradox by offering a broader perspective, including business, industry and mixed reality considerations.

The widespread deployment of digital technologies has made the globe an interconnected world. Among other necessities of the digitalized world, cybersecurity is a crucial component. Therefore, education and proper training of the cybersecurity workforce are essential for building a strong national and global community. However, a significant shortage of proficient cybersecurity experts is reported worldwide. In this study, we present a comprehensive guideline for university-level cybersecurity curriculum development with respect to workforce training. Our curriculum guideline is based on consulting various globally well-known documents, reports, and frameworks that are specifically designed for cybersecurity. Namely, to conduct our research we utilize Cybersecurity Curricula 2017 (CSEC2017) by the Joint Task Force on Cybersecurity Education [1], National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) cybersecurity workforce framework by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) [2], and the Development Needs in Cybersecurity Education: Final report of the project by Lehto et al. at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland [3]. The significance of our work also relies on the fact that the previous efforts to establish a link between the NICE workforce framework [2] and the CSEC2017 curriculum [1] have fallen short, and to the best of our knowledge, this work is the first successful attempt on the matter. In particular, we map every knowledge requirement in each work role of [2] to one or several knowledge areas of CSEC2017 curriculum [1]. We define a measurement system to assign a numeric value to each knowledge area of [1]. Our goal is to determine the significance of a cybersecurity knowledge area in workforce training. Moreover, we identify the shortcomings of the Cybersecurity Curricula that is defined in [1], i.e., we recognize the knowledge areas that are missing from the curriculum of [1]. We also discuss about the shortcomings of NICE framework in terms of defining the proper required knowledge in the work roles. Based on our findings, we present a comprehensive guideline for cybersecurity curriculum development for higher educational institutions. Finally, we propose a curriculum roadmap to the job categories of [2].
