Abstract

Privacy is a ubiquitous topic in research nowadays, specially in mobile application scenarios. Users are seldom aware of the privacy hazards they are under when using mobile applications. In this paper we compare two privacy studies and present development strategies that can be employed to favour the awareness of privacy and security issues with a strong focus on location data. Results show that developers should play an increasingly important role in the assurance of privacy since users of mobile apps, although concerned with privacy issues, are not fully prepared for making the right decisions in every situation as a rerun of an old study shows.
