Abstract  Several new location-based information applications reveal sets of places that an individual frequently visits. This practice gives rise to related privacy questions and new interface needs. For example, while electronic system users want to be in control of private data and know how those who have it will employ it [10], there are no design guidelines for garnering informed consent for using place-based information. In addition, the set of places a person frequents may reveal information such as: 1) when they are likely to go to a place, or 2) within close proximity, where they live. If a user considers this information private, they may still inadvertently disclose it: humans have difficulty comprehending aggregate effects of their actions [1]. A system could therefore deliver benefit by identifying notable risks and informing the user. This research plan will address these key issues and will ultimately inform privacy interface design.
