Gamification, the use of game design elements in applications that are not games, has been developed to provide attractive environments and maintain user interest in several domains. In domains such as education, marketing and health, where gamification techniques are applied, user engagement in applications has increased. In these applications the protection of users’ privacy is an important aspect to consider, due to the applications obtaining a record of the personal information of their users. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to identify if applications where gamification is applied do respect users’ privacy. For the accomplishment of this aim, two main steps have been implemented. Since the main principle of gamification is the existence of game elements, the first step was to identify the set of game elements recorded in the literature that are commonly applied in various applications. Afterwards, an examination of the relationship between these elements and privacy requirements was implemented in order to identify which elements conflict with the privacy requirements leading to potential privacy violations and which elements do not. Α conceptual model according to the results of this examination was designed, which presents how elements conflict with requirements. Based on the results, there are indeed game elements which can lead to privacy violations. The results of this work provide valuable guidance to software developers, especially during the design stages of gamified applications since it helps them to consider the protection of users’ privacy in parallel from the early stages of the application development onwards.

“…To a lesser extent, studies which concern on gamification and security have been recorded [13,14], aiming to highlight the important role of security in services. Apart from the importance of gamification in security, it is also crucial to educate users on privacy issues, since by using these services, users' information is often disclosed.…”

“…An example of such methods is gamification [4], the use of game elements in applications that are not games. Many game elements have been recorded in the literature and have been implemented in gamified services [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] in order to support several domains [7,8,[12][13][14][15][16]. The benefits, provided by the implementation of the game elements, differ based on the concept of each service.…”

“…Thus, it is crucial to consider the protection of users' security and privacy while designing services. Regarding the relation between gamification and these two important aspects, some studies have been published [13,14,20,21], in which the harmful side of gamification, focusing on users' security and privacy, is presented. Besides the importance of designing privacy-friendly and secure gamified services, it is also crucial for a user to be able to protect his/her own security and privacy.…”

Security and Privacy From a Legal, Ethical, and Technical Perspective

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The interaction between users and several technologies has rapidly increased. In people's daily habits, the use of several applications for different reasons has been introduced. The provision of attractive services is an important aspect that it should be considered during their design. The implementation of gamification supports this, while game elements create a more entertaining and appealing environment. At the same time, due to the collection and record of users' information within them, security and privacy are needed to be considered as well, in order for these technologies to ensure a minimum level of security and protection of users' information. Users, on the other hand, should be aware of their security and privacy, so as to recognize how they can be protected, while using gamified services. In this work, the relation between privacy and gamified applications, regarding both the software developers and the users, is discussed, leading to the necessity not only of designing privacy-friendly systems but also of educating users through gamification on privacy issues.
