Privacy Value Networks
Lead Participant:
CONSULT HYPERION LIMITED
Abstract
The Privacy Value Networks project (PVNets) is funded by the Technology Strategy Board as part of the EPAC (Ensuring Privacy And Consent) initiative.
PVNets is a major three-year research project that will produce a strong empirical base for developing concepts of privacy across contexts and timeframes. Despite many studies there is still a lack of clarity of what privacy is and what it means to different stakeholders in different scenarios of use. The cost and benefit of collecting and storing data about individuals has not been properly examined, and the value of holding information about individuals for specific purposes is not understood.
The goal of the Privacy Value Networks project is to develop and apply new methodologies for the study of privacy and to help government and business to understand the value of personal data, as well as the value and risks for other stakeholders.
The project involves collaboration between the Oxford Internet Institute, the University of Bath, UCL, St. Andrew's University and Consult Hyperion.
