Privacy People Categorization

 

Perceptions of acceptable Privacy practitioners vary, creating challenges for Privacy professionals. Decades of opinion surveys show that people can be categorized in three groups - 

1. Privacy fundamentalist - People with a strong desire to protect Privacy

2. Privacy unconcerned - People with low worries about Privacy

3.  Privacy pragmatists - People whose concern about Privacy varies with context and who are willing to give up some Privacy in exchange of benefits.
