This workshop covered the latest research results in user interface design, usability and human factors including studies of user behavior and recent findings in privacy displays, nudging, privacy preference modeling, to name a few. While regulators attempt to drive privacy-by-design, there is little evidence that the class of professionals who consider themselves designers are engaged in the conversation. Workshops at CHI, and SOUPS continue to generate interesting research and spark conversation, however our efforts to identify designers in industrial innovators who are fluent in privacy—in any form—has come up relatively empty. Surely privacy, like other human values, is a source of norms and expectations that influences how designers approach their work, however, we do not have a good sense of how they approach it, whether they use distinct methodologies or tools to do so, and what concepts guide their inquiries.

Building on workshop #1, this workshop went deeper into design practice. The goal was to map current approaches, tools, motivations, methodologies—looking at practice and research—consider how well they address real-world problems as framed by various stakeholders, and identify areas where new research is needed.

Privacy by Design Workshops

This workshop was one of four aimed at identifying a shared research vision to support the practice of privacy-by-design. They convened both practitioners with direct experience of the challenges in implementing privacy-by-design from a range of fields—software developers, privacy engineers, usability and interaction designers, chief privacy officers—and researchers from an equally broad range of disciplines.

The goals for the four workshops included:

• To take stock of the methods, tools, and approaches currently used to design for privacy.
• Broaden the lens through which privacy-by-design is viewed by the research community—positioning technical design along side theoretical/conceptual, organizational, and regulatory design questions.
• Begin the process of building an interdisciplinary community of researchers to develop broader theoretical foundations, systematic approaches, as well as organizational and regulatory models for supporting the practice of privacy-by-design.
