“…The literature about risk perception and risk taking might be of use in this context given that men have consistently been shown to have lower perceptions of risk and are more prone to taking risks than women in similar situations (Byrnes, Miller, & Schafer, 1999). Online there are examples of the same effect, for example, women perceive a higher level of risk in online purchasing compared with men (Garbarino & Strahilevitz, 2004).Similarly, Youn (2005) and Strackstrud and Livingstone (forthcoming) showed that young women are more concerned about protecting their online privacy than boys. This pattern is reflected in our findings in that men were less likely to consider their own behavior and that of others problematic.…”

“…This means that data streams often offer benefits that people can only barely resist. In order not to be excluded, people, for example, engage with social networks despite their awareness of the uncertainties [56]. Many data streams directly serve personal and social needs.…”

Most people in Europe do not know what biobanks are. In this study, public perceptions of biobanks and collection of genetic and health data were analyzed in relation to other technologies and digital networks where personal information is compiled and distributed. In this setting, people contextualized biobanks in line with their daily experiences with other technologies and data streams. The analysis was based on 18 focus group discussions conducted in Austria, Finland and Germany. We examined the ways in which people frame and talk about problems and benefits of information distribution in digital networks and biobanks. People identify many challenges associated with collection of personal data in the information society. The study showed that instead of privacy – which has been the key term of bioethical debates on biobanks – the notions of control and controllability are most essential for people. From the viewpoint of biobanks, issues of controllability pose challenges. In the information society, people have become accustomed to controlling personal data, which is particularly difficult in relation to biobanks. They expressed strong concerns over the controllability of the goals and benefits of biobanks.

“…Youn found that, while using the Web, teenagers engage in privacyprotecting strategies such as falsifying or providing incomplete information, or using alternative Web sites that don't request personal information. 16 Moscardelli and Divine's survey of high school students showed support for the proposition that "increasing adolescents' concern for their online privacy leads to greater use of privacy-protecting behaviors." 17 In a 2006 survey of 935 American teens, Pew Internet & American Life Project found that although teens engage in risky behavior online, for many, "privacy and disclosure choices are made as they create and maintain social networking profiles" and "most teenagers are taking steps to protect themselves online from the most obvious areas of risk."…”

Librarians have a long history of protecting user privacy, but they have done seemingly little to understand or influence the privacy policies of library resource vendors that increasingly collect user information through Web 2.0-style personalization features. After citing evidence that college students value privacy, this study used content analysis to determine the degree to which the privacy policies of 27 major vendors meet standards articulated by the library profession and information technology industry. While most vendors have privacy policies, the policy provisions fall short on many library profession standards and show little support for the library Code of Ethics.
