ABSTRACT
The increasing adoption of smartphones and their capability of collecting personal and contextual information have generated a tremendous increment in the production of (personal) data. The availability of such a huge amount of data represents an invaluable opportunity for organizations and individuals to enable new application scenarios. However, it has also significantly increased the public concern on data privacy. In this paper, we present My Data Store, a tool enabling people to control and share their personal data. We tested My Data Store with 63 participants that used it in order to manage their own data collected from mobile phones and through experience sampling applications. Preliminary results show improvement over the users' awareness of their personal data and the perceived usefulness of the tool.

Gifting Interpretations of Personal Data
CHI EA '18: Extended Abstracts of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsResearch on physical representations of data has often used personal data as its focus. Core aim of making personal data physical is to provoke self-reflections through a felt experience. In this paper, we present a preliminary study which employs the ...
