Abstract
This paper presents a proof of concepts from which the metaphor of "Fair Trade" is validated as an alternative to manage the private information of users. Our privacy solution deals with user’s privacy as a tradable good for obtaining environment’s services. Thus, users gain access to more valuable services as they share more personal information. This strategy, combined with optimistic access control and transations registries mechamisms, enhances users’ confidence in the system while encouraging them to share their information, with the consequent benefit for the community. The study results are promising considering the user responses regarding the usefulness, ease of use, information classification and perception of control with the mechanisms proposed by the metaphor.
