Every one of us has the right to control when, how and how much our personal information is shared with others.
Social networks, executive work, internal company systems, medical records – electronic storage, sharing and transfer of personal information make collaboration and communication more efficient. At the same time it is getting harder to maintain control on who knows what about us. Through social networks we share lots of personal information ourselves, but this does not mean that we are able to fully understand the consequences of our actions.
The user himself/herself must be able to exercise control on own information, while the system at the same time can not assume the user to have the complete responsibility. Anonymization is one way of ensuring privacy, but in many cases this is not a very usable solution.
We develop technology contributing to enhanced privacy protection.
