Privacy as part of the app decision-making process
Abstract
Smartphones have unprecedented access to sensitive personal information. While users report having privacy concerns, they may not actively consider privacy while downloading apps from smartphone application marketplaces. Currently, Android users have only the Android permissions display, which appears after they have selected an app to download, to help them understand how applications access their information. We investigate how permissions and privacy could play a more active role in app-selection decisions. We designed a short "Privacy Facts' display, which we tested in a 20-participant lab study and a 366-participant online experiment. We found that by bringing privacy information to the user when they were making the decision and by presenting it in a clearer fashion, we could assist users in choosing applications that request fewer permissions.

“This is in line with the findings of Kelley et al. (2013) who found in their study on app decision-making process that users consider factors such as cost, functionality, design, ratings, reviews and downloads as more important than requested permissions.”

“…and data ‘leakage’ in particular, recent literature argues that the consumer’s choice to use mobile technologies is primarily driven by considerations of popularity, usability and the price of a given technology (Kelley et al., 2013; Kim et al., 2008) despite the potential risk of data misuse.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
