At the same time, they raise a range of privacy concerns. Thus, to reduce privacy concerns today apps are restricted from accessing certain information hindering to deliver full personalization and novel adaptive use cases. I investigate this issue by shedding light on the privacy concerns that arise from state-of-the-art mobile sensing data, studying the users’ perspective on mobile smartphone privacy, and proposing concepts that protect the users’ privacy while keeping the resulting data usable. I found that there is a lack of user-centered privacy design and that control features play a key role to give the users more agency. My results motivate the proliferation of control-enhancing privacy features in mobile applications. I show that the benefits of trust and system adoption surpass any impairments that control features might bring to the data.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Mobile Human-Computer Interaction}, articleno = {42}, numpages = {4}, keywords = {human computer interaction}, location = {Athens, Greece}, series = {MobileHCI '23 Companion} }
