Privacy in Technology

A person drives to the grocery store to buy dinner. Upon arriving, she receives several unsolicited phone notifications about discounts on products at the grocery store where she is about to shop. What type of privacy problem does this illustrate?

  • A Intrusion
  • B Surveillance
  • C Decisional Interference
  • D Exposure
Explanation

Intrusion is an unwanted invasion of an individual’s personal space or tranquility, such as unsolicited, location-targeted notifications. The notifications may rely on collected location data, but the privacy harm described is the disruptive, unwanted contact itself.
