Automating Android privacy assessments
Are you a privacy expert or a legal expert? We need your help!
We are a group of researchers from the Secure Software Engineering lab at Paderborn University, working on understanding and automating GDPR compliance for Android apps. We are working with Assessor View, a tool that automatically visualizes an Android app in data privacy vocabulary.
We are conducting a user study in February 2025 to assess the usability of Assessor view. If you are a privacy expert or a legal expert working in compliance, join us for the user study and help shape the future of GDPR compliance! Participation is voluntary. Participants can withdraw at any time.
Information about the user study
- Your data will be anonymized, we may use short quotes from your questionnaire at the most.
- We estimate that the entire study will take approximately 45 minutes to 60 minutes of your valuable time.
- We will conduct the study on Zoom, no camera required.
- In the study, we will assign some privacy-specific tasks and ask follow-up questions about Assessor view.
- After completing the tasks, participants will complete a questionnaire.
The user study design was approved by the Ethics committee of Paderborn University.
Data Processing
We will collect the following data: tool-specific answers through a questionnaire, and name and email address for communication. We would like to record the study if you consent to it. The recording will help us create transcriptions to analyze the data systematically after the study. Here is how we will handle your data and transcripts:
- The recording of the study will be destroyed after we create the transcripts a few days after the study.
- Any other personal data will not be collected as part of the study.
- All collected data is considered strictly confidential and will be anonymized as soon as possible in the research process.
- Since participant names will not be recorded, codes such as P01, P02, etc. will be used to report the results.
- Results of the study may be published, but no identifying information will be included in the publication.
- The data is collected and stored only by Paderborn University researchers.
- Participants will sign a suitable consent form before the user study is conducted.
Please read the privacy policy for this study which was approved by the Data protection office of Paderborn University.
