Abstract

Information privacy has received significant attention in past years. The shift from physical to online interaction entails a change in privacy paradigms. Yet, most of the attention has been directed at forms of self-identifying information (e.g. health records and financial information); less attention has been given to privacy concerns resulting from the information provided voluntarily by users during online social interaction. This paper suggests privacy literacy - an educational framework that will be used to enhance users' awareness to privacy issues that are intertwined in online exposure.
