Abstract

In this talk we will explore how individuals value their personal data, A mixed methods programme of work has been undertaken to investigate the views of consumers and businesses to the value of personal data. The four phases of research entail an initial survey of over 300 participants to consider the willingness to pay to protect various data types; a series of workshops with consumers to ascertain qualitative data, a nationally-representative survey; and a series of industry workshops. This seminar will present the key results and findings of the project as well as provide suggested areas for future work.

The work presented is part of PETRAS, the UK Research Hub for Cyber Security of the Internet of Things, under the Valuing Personal Data project. The work presented is joint with Anya Skatova, Sinong Ma, Rebecca McDonald and Lucie Burgess.
