DESCRIPTION

Practice privacy by design, not privacy by disaster! See the talk here: http://caseorganic.com/articles/2014/02/12/1/designing-for-privacy-in-mobile-and-web-apps-at-interaction-14-in-amsterdam Almost every application requires some gathering of personal data today. Where that data is stored, who has access to it, and what is done with that data later on is becoming increasingly important as more and more of our data lives online today. Privacy disasters are costly and can be devastating to a company. UX designers and developers need to have a framework for protecting user data, communicating it to users, and making sure that the entire process is smoothly handled. This talk covers best practices for designing web and mobile apps with the privacy of individual users in mind. Privacy has been an even bigger issue with location-based apps, and we ran into it head-first when we began work on Geoloqi (now part of Esri). Designing an interface that made one's personal empowering instead of creepy was our goal. The stories from our design decisions with our application will also be included in this talk.

What is Privacy?

caseorganic.com

The ability to have control over where your content goes and who it is accessed by.

caseorganic.com

The ability to choose what content you share, view and access without being tracked.

caseorganic.com

Privacy is the ability not to be surprised.

caseorganic.com

Privacy can also be a feeling or perception of security.

This perception of security can be designed.

Privacy on the WebOld Web:

Social silos don't exist. Where you go on the web is not tracked New Web:Logged into FB, Google: everything you look at is tracked

How can we design for privacy?

1. Temporary Solution (Privacy by Design) 2. Longer term Solution (Data Ownership)

What was different?• Design and product launch

• Developer on-boarding fail • Secrecy/Mystery/Exclusivity

• Closed system

• Too many features

• Price

Questions people ask me when I’m wearing Google Glass

Compare to iPhone Developer Launch

Development tools available before new hardware/OS released

• $99 fee • Launch: many apps • People had phones already

Trying to "Calm" the device

Half of privacy is perceived The idea of privacy is socially created and attached to behavioral norms.

Behavior can change when norms change.

Why? •Designed to be "calm"•Built upon previous products (iteration)

•Clearly defined. (Lifelogging device).

•Not at eye level. Small friendly rounded corners

•Not immediate (download later)

Part III: Building privacy into mobile and web apps

#dataprivacy

1. Get a privacy policy

Privacy policies are regret management tools.

Only 30% of mobile app developers have one.

caseorganic.com

Minimum Viable Privacy Policy:

Who you are (identity and contact details),

Categories of personal data the app wants to collect/process,

Why the data processing is necessary (for what precise purposes),

Whether data will be disclosed to which third parties

Data withdrawal rights and account deletion policy

2. Simplify and ConsolidatePrivacy policies should be easy to understand

Create two sections – Plain Text and Legalese

caseorganic.com

Terms of Service; Didn't ReadMEDIUMReserves the right to use your name and content for any purpose forever, even if they get acquired in the future.

WikiaCommunities don't own their content and can't transfer it off their site.

tosdr.org (thanks bret.io!)

caseorganic.com

How many of you have read the entire iTunes privacy policy?

caseorganic.com

What about Creative Commons?

caseorganic.com

3. Allow people to access /export their data

caseorganic.com

4. Privacy by design vs. privacy by disaster

Privacy consideration should be incorporated into every aspect of your app.

Web, legal, user experience, messaging, marketing and development.

Act now or be forced to act later.

caseorganic.com

5. Consolidate and simplify settings and permissions

Make controls easy to access.

On/off switches, simple settings.

caseorganic.com

6. Contextual Privacy

Instagram, Facebook, Foursquare do this well.

Expose privacy controls with every piece of content that can be created or shared

caseorganic.com

7. No one is perfect

Hosting user data is a privilege, not a right

Apologize immediately if you make a mistake. Fix the problem immediately

caseorganic.com

8. Authentication and Permissions

• Allow for temporary

authentication

Show data options and

time

caseorganic.com

When in doubt give control

8. Authentication and Permissions

10. Be Clever: Accomplish your goals in the least amount of moves*

*even/especially if it takes more time to think about the solution.
