27 April 2018
The purpose of this study is to explore the privacy expectations of individuals when it comes to tracking their location and inferring personal information about them. We are looking for adults who own iPhones and use them on a daily basis. The participants will have to install an application on their phone that will help us understand their privacy expectations with respect to the personal information we can infer by continuously tracking their location.
