Cumulative Revelations of Personal Data *
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Dundee
Department Name: Social Digital
Abstract
Cumulative Revelations in Personal Data takes a multidisciplinary approach to investigating how small, apparently innocuous pieces of employees' personal information, which are generated through interactions with/in networked systems over time, collectively pose significant yet unanticipated risk to personal reputation and employers' operational security. Such cumulative revelations come from personal data that are shared intentionally by an individual, from data shared about an individual by others, from recognition software that identifies and tags people and places automatically, and from common cross-authentication practices that favour convenience over security (e.g. signing into AirBnB via Facebook). Brought together, these data can provide unintended insights to others into (for example) an individual's personal habits, work patterns, personality, emotion, and social influence. Collectively these data thus have the potential to create adverse consequences for that individual (e.g. through reputational damage), their employer (e.g. by creating opportunities for cybercrime), and even for national security.
The research brings together multidisciplinary expertise in Socio-Digital Interaction, Co-design, Interactive Information Retrieval, and Computational Legal Theory, all working in collaboration with a key industry partner, the Royal Bank of Scotland, which employs more than 92,000 staff across 12 national, international and private banks and for which security concerns are paramount, as well as UK Government security agencies, via the Government Office for Science and the Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats.
The research will examine the potential adverse revelations delivered by an individual employee's holistic digital footprint through the development of a prototype software tool that maps out a portrait of a user's digital footprint and reflects it back to them. This tool will enable individuals to understand the cumulative nature of their personal data, and better comprehend the associated vulnerabilities and risks. Responding to employers' concerns over organisational security risks created by cumulative revelations of their employees' data, the research will also identify conflicts and ambiguities in security service design and implementation when the motivations and actions of individual employees are balanced against organisational security philosophy, enabling mitigation against the attendant risks, issues and consequences of cumulative revelations from organisational and individual perspectives.

Planned Impact
The research will achieve impact in a range of ways. Here we outline them using the EPSRC categories for impact.
Knowledge - techniques. We will develop prototype software tools that map out a holistic portrait of an individual user's digital footprint, and reflect it back to them. These tools will enable individuals to understand their cumulative digital footprints, and to comprehend associated vulnerabilities and risks of cumulative revelations.
Society - Policy. Stakeholder workshops will involve policymakers, who we will access via the Government Office for Science and through CREST. Workshops will use the Picture Book approach that we have used previously with policymakers, law enforcement agencies and industry. This approach maximises opportunities to share research insights in ways that enable them to be operationalised by stakeholders. Further, the involvement of legal experts as project partners (Bristows) and as colaborators (Schafer, co-I) means that our research insights are framed in current and predicted legislation - adding further utility for policy.
Society - Quality of Life. The tools that we develop will increase digital literacy and personal agency over UK citizens' digital footprints. This in turn will assist them in protecting their privacy, reducing risk to reputation, and the potential to be victims of cybercrimes.
People - Skills. Cyber security is an area where there are not sufficient skilled people to fill available posts. We have attracted funding for two PhD studentships and one postdoctoral intern from our project partners - all of whom will emerge from the project with cutting edge cyber security skills. Further, the project team, through interdisciplinary working, will extend their own skills far beyond the traditional borders of their disciplines. The stakeholder workshops, and our deep engagement with project partners, will foster cross-fertilisation of skills across academia, industry and UK security agencies.
Economy - Products and Procedures: Working in partnership with RBS and UK Security Agencies (via GO-Science) we will develop prototype software tools that reduce the risk to organisations of cumulative revelations linked to personal data. The risks that will be reduced include cyber crime and insider threats. These risks are significant, and increasing. An average large organisation can expect 81 million security events over the course of the year, with 55% of security breaches caused by individuals with legitimate access to an organisation's system.

Title | Alex Smith method |
Description | The Big Data & Society article Everyday Digital Traces (2023) https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20539517231213827 presents the replicable and contextually customsiable "Alex Smith" method that we developed. We used a co-designed, fictional persona called Alex Smith to concretise and represent people's online information to help participants (through role-playing) to reflect on data and digital traces. Drawing together four fields of scholarly research concerning personal data: digital traces and the digital self, datafication and dataveillance, mundane, everyday data and the data journey - we advanced understandings of personal data by exploring ordinary people's seemingly innocuous digital traces generated through everyday online interactions. The method developed enabled investigations into ordinary people's engagement with their data, and can be adapted for and used with different participant groups, which also supports their awareness of cumulative functions of personal data and potential use by un/known actors. |

Title | Cumulative Revelations in Personal Data Study 1 |
Description | Data collected in respect of EPSRC Cumulative Revelations in Personal Data EP/R033889/1 This project was a major EPSRC funded study that sought to better understand the revelations that arise when pieces from an individual's personal information available online are connected over time and across multiple platforms. Such more complete digital traces can give unintended insights into their life and opinions. Extensive fieldwork included an interview study (Study 1) with UK employees regarding their experiences of cumulative revelation of their data. We examined the risks and harms to individuals and employers when others joined the dots between their online information. Interviews employed a "digital narrative" technique where participants were asked to make drawings of their information and communication networks, the types of information shared and details of to whom it was available or visible. Study 1 was conducted online in the period May 2020-August 2020 when much of the UK was in lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Interviews included questions addressing changes to information sharing behaviour occurring during lockdown conditions. The dataset contains: • Transcripts of 26 interviews with the Uk public • Photographic images of drawings created by participants during the interviews • Data from a technology survey completed by participants at the start of each interview regarding their use of devices, information channels and data storage |

Results and Impact | Presentation on the Northumbria design work package by Briggs and 30min demo of the "Alex Smith tool" with Briggs and Nash each facilitating a breakout room. Other project investigators also presented. Around 20 participants in all from academia and external organisations. The event was aimed at those working in FinTech and aligned activities. The event presented mid-term findings from the EPSRC-funded Cumulative Revelations in Personal Data project, which examines: - Ways in which people unintentionally reveal more information to others than they intend to across multiple online channels and over time. - How this can create reputational and security risks to people and their employers. This event involve a demo of our research method comprising a digital tool designed by the Northumbria team led by Briggs. It invites people to reflect on risks created when sharing personal information, and assists them in anticipating and managing these risks. CN and JB ran one of the \breakout rooms' from a larger event and invited discussions on the research's mid-term findings, and exploration around potential future directions for research within the FinTech community. The event took place online on 25 May 2021 organised by the University of Strathclyde. Any requests for further information will have been directed to the PI of the project rather than our small team. |
