Unaddressed privacy risks in accredited health and wellness apps: a cross-sectional systematic assessment (2015, background): “Users can struggle to accurately gauge privacy risks in general app stores [36, 37] and often report feeling un-comfortable about information sharing practices in otherwise valued apps [38].”
The corporate cultivation of digital resignation (2019, background): “When applied to digital privacy, scholarly writing has pointed out that companies, including online advertisers, benefit from learned helplessness insofar as people tend not to dramatically alter their behaviors when they learn about unwelcome data practices (see Shklovski et al., 2014).”
The privacy paradox - Investigating discrepancies between expressed privacy concerns and actual online behavior - A systematic literature review (2017, background): “…individuals tend to organize their use of mobile applications according to goal orientation, with users showing a higher susceptibility to accepting privacy and security intrusions (e.g. a banking app) when compared to less important applications (e.g. a gaming app) (Shklovski et al., 2014).”
