| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: The use of mobile applications has increased in the last years. Most of them require the knowledge of the user location, either for their core service or for marketing purposes. Location-based services (LBS) offer context-based assistance to users based on their location. Although these applications ask the user for permission to use their location and even explain in detail how this information will be used in its terms and conditions, most users are not aware or even interested in the fact that their location information is stored in databases and monetized by selling it to third-party companies. Regarding this situation, we developed a study with the aim to assess perception, concerns and awareness from users about their location information. Methods: This work is based on an exploratory survey applied to the university community, mainly from the North Coast of Colombia, to measure the perception of location privacy of users with mobile devices. The questionnaire was applied using Google Forms. The survey has nineteen questions organized in three sections: personal information, identification of privacy and privacy management. These questions were designed to know the users’ perceptions of privacy concerns in LBS and any actions they take to preserve it. Results: The results show that, in general, the respondents do not have a real concern regarding the privacy of their geolocation data, and the majority is not willing to pay to protect their privacy. Conclusions: This type of surveys can generate awareness among participants about the use of their private information. The results expose in this paper can be used to create government policies and regulations by technology companies about the privacy management. | eng |
| dc.description.abstract | Introducción: El uso de aplicaciones móviles se ha incrementado en los últimos años. La mayoría de ellas requiere conocer la ubicación del usuario, ya sea para su servicio principal o para fines de marketing. Los servicios basados en localización (SBL) ofrecen asistencia contextual para los usuarios según su ubicación. Aunque estas aplicaciones le piden permiso al usuario para usar su ubicación e incluso explican en detalle cómo se usará esta información en sus términos y condiciones, la mayoría de los usuarios no están conscientes ni incluso interesados en el hecho de que la información de su ubicación se almacene en bases de datos y se monetice, vendiéndolo a terceros. Con respecto a esta situación, desarrollamos un estudio con el objetivo de evaluar la percepción, las preocupaciones y el conocimiento de los usuarios sobre la información de su ubicación. Métodos: este trabajo se basa en una encuesta exploratoria aplicada a la comunidad universitaria, principalmente de la costa norte de Colombia, para medir la percepción de la privacidad de ubicación de los usuarios con dispositivos móviles. El cuestionario se aplicó utilizando los formularios de Google. La encuesta tiene diecinueve preguntas organizadas en tres secciones: información personal, identificación de privacidad y gestión de la privacidad. Estas preguntas fueron diseñadas para conocer las percepciones de los usuarios sobre las preocupaciones de privacidad en SBL y cualquier acción que tomen para preservarla. Resultados: los resultados muestran que, en general, los encuestados no tienen una preocupación real con respecto a la privacidad de sus datos de geolocalización, y la mayoría no está dispuesta a pagar para proteger su privacidad. Conclusiones: este tipo de encuestas puede generar conciencia entre los participantes sobre el uso de su información privada. Los resultados expuestos en este documento se pueden utilizar para crear políticas y regulaciones gubernamentales por parte de las compañías de tecnología sobre la administración de la privacidad. | spa |
