Wearables have become popular in several application domains, including healthcare, entertainment and security. [] Key Result Our results show that users have different levels and types of privacy concerns depending on the type of wearable they use. By better understanding the users’ perspectives about wearable privacy, we aim at helping designers and researchers to develop effective solutions to create privacy-enhanced wearables.

Users’ Privacy Perceptions About Wearable Technology: Examining Influence of Personality, Trust, and Usability
TLDR
Investigation of smartwatches found that users who demonstrated a high tendency towards neuroticism had more awareness about third-party data sharing after a wearable trial and the usability of a device affected the users’ perceptions of data practices.
A Privacy Protection Layer for Wearable Devices
TLDR
This research introduces a privacy aware layer built over a sample smartwatch OS to limit user data access through enforcement of user set privacy settings to capture user’s privacy preference.
A Survey of Privacy Concerns in Wearable Devices
TLDR
A survey of the literature is presented to understand the various privacy challenges, mitigation strategies, and future research directions as a result of the widespread adoption of wearable devices.
"There is nothing that I need to keep secret": Sharing Practices and Concerns of Wearable Fitness Data
TLDR
The findings indicate that participants were primarily concerned about acceptable norms and selfpresentation rather than the sensitivity of the information, and a set of common goals and practices which can inspire new applications and help improve existing platforms for sharing sensed fitness information.
Eliciting Privacy Concerns for Smart Home Devices from a User Centered Perspective
TLDR
To elicit privacy concerns from a user-centric perspective, a thorough analysis of 128 online reviews of consumers of smart home hubs – including Amazon Echo, Google Home, Wink and Insteon are performed.
Toward Privacy Enhanced Solutions For Granular Control Over Health Data Collected by Wearable Devices
TLDR
The goal of this dissertation is to design and build human-centered solutions that address the need for granular privacy control over data generated by wearable devices.
Privacy Dangers of Wearables and the Internet of Things
This chapter identifies concerns about, and the managerial implications of, data privacy issues related to wearables and the IoT; it also offers some enterprise solutions to the complex concerns…
A Step in the Right Direction - Understanding Privacy Concerns and Perceived Sensitivity of Fitness Trackers
TLDR
It was found that long-term storage location and possible recipients of the collected data do play important roles, however, the consensus was that the participants would prefer to keep said data to themselves.

Privacy risks emerging from the adoption of innocuous wearable sensors in the mobile environment
TLDR
A study to assess how concerned people are about disclosure of a variety of behaviors and contexts that are embedded in wearable sensor data shows participants are most concerned about disclosures of conversation episodes and stress - inferences that are not yet widely publicized.
Privacy behaviors of lifeloggers using wearable cameras
TLDR
An in situ user study in which participants wore a lifelogging device for a week, answered questionnaires about the collected images, and participated in an exit interview indicates that some people may prefer to manage privacy through in situ physical control of image collection in order to avoid later burdensome review of all collected images.
Technological approaches for addressing privacy concerns when recognizing eating behaviors with wearable cameras
TLDR
This work provides a framework, the privacy-saliency matrix, for understanding the balance between the eating information in an image and its potential privacy concerns and shows how the framework can be used to quantitatively assess the effectiveness of four automated techniques at reducing the Privacy-infringing content of images while still maintaining evidence of eating behaviors throughout the day.
Leakiness and creepiness in app space: perceptions of privacy and mobile app use
TLDR
This work reports on two studies of smartphone users in western European countries, in which users were confronted with app behaviors and their reactions assessed, and suggests that these emotional reactions point to important underlying issues, even when users continue using apps they find creepy.
Who, how, and why? Enhancing privacy awareness in Ubiquitous Computing
TLDR
A model to enhance user-centric privacy awareness is proposed by consistently modeling observations and disturbances of users to capture who is affecting a user's privacy, how privacy is affected, and why it is affected.
From spaces to places: emerging contexts in mobile privacy
TLDR
It is reported on how, by combining a variation of experience sampling and contextual interviews, a notion of context in relation to privacy, which is subjectively defined by emerging socio-cultural knowledge, functions, relations and rules, is started.
Understanding the wearability of head-mounted devices from a human-centered perspective
TLDR
The analysis of online comments from existing and potential users enabled us to identify key aspects of the wearability of head-mounted devices, bridging the gap between design decisions and users' requirements.
A cross-cultural framework for protecting user privacy in online social media
TLDR
A framework for evaluating the extent to which social networking sites' privacy options are offered and communicated in a manner that supports diverse users from around the world is proposed, which can enable service providers to identify potential gaps in support for user privacy.
