Goals
"Previous researchers have identified some central dimensions of privacy: collection of personal information, unauthorized secondary usage, external unauthorized secondary usage, errors in personal information, and improper access (Milberg et al., 2000, Okazaki et al., 2009, Smith et al., 1996, Wirtz et al., 2007, Woo, 2006). This study deals with concerns on a more general level and with Smith et al.’s (1996) terminology: unauthorized use of personal information. The paper aims at describing the digital contexts in which people perceive concern and at explaining their anxiety." (Author, 420)
