The project aims to:
- establish the characteristics of personal information, and determine how it relates to an individual’s preferences and activities
- suggest how a revised understanding of personal information may be used to re-conceptualize informational privacy.
Both aims are supported by data collection about: a) users’ perceptions of profiling and privacy, and b) platform providers’ understanding of personal information and privacy, as well as measures taken to protect users’ privacy.
The project is funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark and is hosted by The Danish Institute for Human Rights and the University of Copenhagen.
