Key Facts on Privacy Negotiations

Problem statement - Take-it-or-leave-it offers are the current corporate and regulatory practice: privacy policies are far from personalised. Yet, consumers value privacy quite differently and the worries they attach to particular data items vary. As a result, many frustrated and disappointed customers cancel online purchases or avoid online interaction.

Privacy Negotiations - In Privacy Negotiations, consumers and service providers establish, maintain, and refine privacy policies as individualised agreements through the ongoing choice amongst service alternatives.

Incentivised Privacy Negotiations - In incentivised privacy negotiations, the transaction partners may additionally bundle the personal information collection and processing schemes with monetary or non-monetary rewards.

Ethics of Privacy Negotiations - Privacy negotiations do not contravene the human right to informational self-determination. Consumers are not rewarded for renouncing their privacy, but agree on a price for personal information, which is an economic good. As a privacy-enhancing technology, incentivised privacy policy negotiations lift this price above null compensation.
