ABSTRACT
Systems of interpersonal interaction typically allow a user to manage privacy by specifying which accesses to his or her personal information are permitted. However, users rarely know whether, when, and by whom information was actually accessed within the parameters they specified. We define actual accesses to personal information as "information exposure". Knowing one's exposure can potentially enhance privacy management. Toward this end, we present Attire: an app for computers and smartphones that represents the user with an avatar. Attire conveys real-time information exposure in a lightweight and unobtrusive manner via modifications to the avatar's clothing.

Are you exposed?: conveying information exposure
CSCW '12: Proceedings of the ACM 2012 conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work CompanionWe explore the design space of interfaces for conveying and managing 'exposure' - the actual access to information by parties authorized to access it. Our goal is to convey the resulting disclosure in a quickly interpretable form and to enable ...
