2. Not new area of study, but still an emergent issue…
“Data and information sovereignty is
the next big consumer issue”
Demos 2012
“Far from being a quaint 20th Century idea… the
latent demand for privacy has never been greater”
Deloitte Data Nation 2013
“Personal data represents an emerging asset
class, potentially every bit as valuable as other
assets such as traded goods, gold or oil”
World Economic Forum 2012
“All are endorsing that key data should be released
back to consumers… This is the way the world is going
and the UK is currently leading the charge.”

23. Conclusions
“…people are fearful of sharing their data largely because companies and
government haven’t been good at clearly explaining how they use it.”
The Data Dialogue, Demos 2012
Suspicion and concern high, knowledge and action low – and concern
increases for many as told more: transparency needs to increase, but weak
incentive to be first mover, and unpredictable implications for trust
“When asked, we tend not to want our personal information to be used and
manipulated without our consent, the chance to correct it or to limit its
accessibility; yet every day we make decisions and choices that suggest we
ultimately don’t care or know enough.”
Demos 2008
Smart defaults – use what we know about people to default into more
appropriate options (incl. “personalising privacy”) – will concern some…
More positively…

24. People see the potential in “smart disclosure”…
