The Value of Privacy
Dawn Schrader, Cornell University

Computers, tracking, ubiquitous surveillance, “dataveillance,” and cell phone technologies are pushing the legal and common definition of what counts as privacy and privacy invasion. Fundamental issues in valuing privacy involve awareness, judgments about what is private, and actions to allow or not allow access to personal information. As the line between public and private blurs, individuals make choices as to what information to share, and how widely.
In this colloquium presented by the Department of Communication, Professor Schrader will report preliminary results of a survey where participants shared private information, rated the value of their own and others’ personal information, and indicated the compensation that they would be willing to accept in different scenarios that increasingly widened the dissemination of their information. The survey also tested their willingness to pay to keep information from dissemination. Results suggest that the value people place on their private information is extraordinarily sensitive to threat of disclosure, but insensitive to both the probability and scope of that disclosure.
