Workshops
* 2014-11-20 (20 NOV) – 2014-11-21 (21 NOV)
Workshop on Privacy and User–Centric Controls
https://www.w3.org/2014/privacyws/
Berlin, Germany
Hosted by Deutsche Telekom
Participants will investigate strategies toward better
privacy protection on the Web that are effective and lead
to benefits in the near term. This includes discussing
basic privacy UI features that will, on the long run,
create a user experience that loops with user expectations.
We expect certain controls and dashboards in a car. Perhaps
we can create a similar clarity for the privacy dashboard
of our devices.
The Workshop focus will be on users: user experience, user
behavior and how we can offer controls that provide the
necessary transparency of privacy-affecting interactions.
We will also discuss how developers can meet users' privacy
needs on the Web, including what APIs are necessary for
user privacy.
