Abstract
Guaranteeing privacy in digital systems is an effort that moves several computing areas such as computer security, cryptography, computer networks, safe protocols, system design and human-computer interaction. One of the hypotheses in our work is that many users of mobile applications are not aware of the risks they run of their data being accessed by intruders, mainly because they do not know what they are exposed to and then, because the terms used in access policies are difficult to understand, too long for a dynamic reading and offer little or no flexibility to allow users to make adjustments according to their preferences. Improving users’ experience means verifying if the implementation of new ways of interaction that provide freedom and flexibility in the control of privacy settings as well as access policies for mobile applications has allowed for higher levels of security and reliability on the users’ side.
