Privacy Management in a Mobile Setting

This paper is concerned with privacy management in mobile settings. We are also going to be looking at the type of applications that are starting to spin off from the Internet onto mobile phones, such as Messenger, Facebook and Twitter. Publication of the whereabouts and activities of the user is at the core of these systems. Many commentators worry about users forgetting that the social network may compromise their privacy, in the sense that information that is published may range farther and wider than the intentions. Withdrawal of personal information that is disseminated is hardly possible. This paper looks at various model of privacy, and examines some ideas related to trust and confidence from the literature.
