Abstract
Abstract: The provision of attractive online services in various socio-economical domains offers several benefits in users’ activities. Gamification is an acknowledged method for designing such services, as with the implementation of game elements, a gameful interactive environment can be developed. Its implementation has been recorded in sectors, such as education, health, and social media. Specifically, the interrelation of social media and gamification, which increases users’ engagement, has been indicated in the new notion of social gamification. Under this engagement, users’ information is collected, stored and processed, often leading to their privacy violation. The protection of users’ privacy is an important aspect to be considered while using gamification in social media. Considering the increasing use of social media, Social Gamification should focus not only on users’ engagement but also on their privacy protection. In this work, the interdependencies among game elements and users’ social attributes are identified, as principles of social gamification. Taking under consideration that the recorded privacy violations occur individually by these principles, the aim is to examine if social gamification creates more implications on privacy, by analyzing these two areas by one common interrelation.
