This document outlines the agenda and discussion topics for a workshop on privacy, permissions, and the evolution of big data. The workshop will discuss where participants stand on issues of data use and regulation. It will review perceptions of privacy from recent surveys and ideas for creating transparency, value, and community around data use through a model of "Communities of Consent." Breakout groups will brainstorm ideas on these topics and identify open questions for future research. The goal is to better understand public views on privacy and shape the responsible use of personal data.

Privacy, Permissions and the Evolution of Big Data
- 1. Privacy, Permissions and the Evolution of Big Data SXSW Interactive Workshop March 9, 2014
- 2. Agenda โข Privacy and permissions: Where do you stand? โข The publicโs perceptions of privacy and their online data: survey results from the US, UK and Canada โข Communities of Consent: a possible future โข Small groups: ideas for creating transparency, value and community โข What do we want to know now? Co-creating the next study
- 3. Where do you stand?
- 4. Where do you stand? 1. Are you using peoples data or protecting peopleโs data? What do you do? 2. Industry self-regulation or government regulation? 3. Are people ignorant of how their information is used or are they willingly giving up their information?
- 5. Big Dataโs Wild West Days
- 7. What Might Drive Regulation?
- 9. Companies and your online information 80 % opposed to companies scanning the text of email messages for information on your interests
- 10. Attitudes Towards Police & Intelligence Agencies 71 % opposed to police or intelligence agencies scanning the text of your email messages for information on your interests
- 11. Not much of a Snowden effect To police or intelligence agencies scanning the text of your email messages for information on your interests
- 12. Trust is Lacking How much trust do you have in companies/police and intelligence agencies to make appropriate use of your personal information generated by your online activities? Trust a great deal Trust completely
- 13. People donโt understand what happens with their online informationโฆโฆand they feel they can control it even less To what extent do you feel you understand/can control what happens to your information when you go on the internet? A great deal Completely
- 14. How do we solve this equation? _________________ Lack of Control Volatile Opposition Lack of Understanding + Lack of Trust =
- 15. Drivers of Resistance Awareness of Monitoring Knowledge of Monitoring Sense of Control Over Monitoring Trust In Monitors From: Surveillance, Privacy and the Globalization of Personal Information
- 16. What ifโฆ
- 18. โWe [Intel] think that peopleโs dataโyours, mine, oursโare too highly concentrated in too few hands. People should be able to help create data, circulate it with reasonable controls, and then derive value directly from their own data. We are trying to understand what it would take to actually catalyze this type of personal data economy.โ Dr. Tony Salvador, Intel Labs

Editor's Notes
- These are big dataโs Wild West daysโso much data, so much freedom, prospectors panning for gold, staking a claim anywhere they want. People are striking it rich, mining promising seams and claiming new turf all over the place.
- But the wild west did not stay wild foreverโthe rule of law came to the land, jurisdictions were defined and rules were put in place. What if the same thing happens with Big Data? What kind of restrictions might come? And what would be the way forward?
- What might drive regulation about big data? Concerns about privacy and surveillance.
- Weโll look at how citizens of the US, UK and Canada feel about privacy of on-line information--drawing on a study we conducted late February and early March in collaboration with the Queenโs University Surveillance Centre. 1017 USA 1502 Canada 2040 UK Representative sample from our online communities
- โIf youโre not paying for it; youโre the product.โ The currency of the internet is the collecting and selling of information on what you do on line. But people in the US, UK and Canada donโt like it, even as they perhaps unwittingly play along. Eight in ten or more are opposed to companies whose service they are using (like Google) being able to: Scan the text of your email messages for information on your interests; Track the content of your internet searches; Share information on your website visits; Share information on the contents of your social media sites (such as Facebook, Twitter and Linked-in); Track your credit card purchases; Track your loyalty card purchases; Track your whereabouts using the GPS signal from your phone Opposition in higher in the UK and higher still in Canada
- Two thirds to seven in ten are opposed to police or government agencies being able to: Scan the text of your email messages for information on your interests; Track the content of your internet searches; Share information on your website visits; Share information on the contents of your social media sites (such as Facebook, Twitter and Linked-in); Track your credit card purchases; Track your loyalty card purchases; Track your whereabouts using the GPS signal from your phone Opposition is somewhat lower in Canada and the UK
- Not as much Snowden effect as we expected.
- โIf youโre not paying for it; youโre the product.โ The currency of the internet is the collecting and selling of information on what you do on line. But people in the US, UK and Canada donโt like it, even as they perhaps unwittingly play along. Eight in ten or more are opposed to companies whose service they are using (like Google) being able to share the contents of your social media, your websites, your internet searchers and the text of your emails.
- We have evidence that it could happen. We collaborated with Queenโs Surveillance center on a 2006 study in the US, UK, Canada, France, Spain, Hungary, Mexico, Brazil and China and found that knowledge, awareness, mistrust and a sense of empowerment drives resistance. I am not saying big data will be greatly restricted, but what if it is? We owe it to ourselves, our employers and our customers to consider what we might do in this scenario. Or perhaps given the opposition, there is even an opportunity here to do something positive. ย What might we do? Right now, weโre basically taking without asking.
- So we have a disconnect here. What people want and what is happening are at odds with each other. What if things changed? What is people started to agitate for changes to the regulations? ย What if the flow of big data was shut down to a trickle? What would we do?
- You might think thatโs impossible, that it could never happen, that itโs too entrenched. But think about social changes like gay marriage, the legalization of marijuana and the over throw of regimes like the Ukraine. These were big changes that seemingly came out of nowhere or were thought to be impossible.
- If we are transparent about what we do, and create understanding, and give people real control, we can create grounds for trust. In other words, if we stop stealing from people and tell them how they can help us, they probably will. Our experience is that many, many people are quite willing to be partnersโco-creators and collaboratorsโif we are straight up with them and enable them to make their voices heard.
- People are fundamentally social animals. In conditions of trust and mutual concern for one another, people flourish. Like many of you, I do survey research. We have people join our panels and participate all the time. Why do they do it? Can we offer them something and make this an exchange rather than us just taking?
- We asked them and found ย 89% agree โI feel like I am doing my part as a good consumer and citizen when I provide feedbackโ 87% agree โI feel like I am being a trusted advisor when I provide feedback to a company on their productsโ 95% agree โI enjoy learning about new things and products when I do surveysโ 86% โI love it when I see the results of a survey I participated inโ 86% โI feel like my opinion makes a differenceโ
- So how about this for a crazy idea: ย We ask people to be our partners and join a panel We ask for permission to gather their data (cookie collector, purchase behavior, etc.) We ask for their opinions and combine that with their secondary dataโgiving us stronger insights and the ability to connect the โwhyโ to the โwhatโ of big data We share some of what we learn back to themโshow them they are trusted advisors that are making a difference ย But it is not such a crazy idea, some of our clients are already doing itโbut for the benefits of linking their data to survey insightsโnot because of a change in regulations. ย Now, if there are regulations the limit the type of data available, this community of consent concept had limitations in that we are looking a sample, rather than the universe.
