Surveillance or empowerment? The discourses of Personal Data Stores
Context Exploitative data practices Large scale data gathering Limited influence over how data is used. Belief in data as a crucial resource for economic development. Power and knowledge asymmetry between organisations and individuals. 2
PDS as an alternative Tackle systematic imbalances ... Control over how data is used. Empowering individuals. Holistic overview of personal information. Symmetrical relations in terms of knowledge, access, value creation. 3
PDS as an alternative? Limitations in human rational decision making (individual and structural). New gatekeepers, new governance issues: who to trust? Unclear how PDS may challenge fundamental challenges of behavioral data economy Challenging or reinforcing views on datafication as a superior form of knowledge production? 4
Goals How is privacy self-management conceptualised by PDS? What is the economic role of individuals who use PDS? What is the role of PDS in knowledge creation? 5
Methodology - Theoretical framework - working definition of PDS + sensitizing concepts - CDA (focus on power imbalances) Data collection - Systematic search using public search engines and scraping. - Maximum variation sampling, limited by saturation of results. Data analysis - 29 cases - inductive, iterative coding process with a focus on language use (e.g. metaphors) - - 6
Ideal-typical discourses Economic discourse individuals are active players in the data economy promote contemporary datafication practices Digital mirror discourse individuals are active managers of their digital life recontextualize contemporary datafication practices Critical discourse individuals are gatekeepers of their data challenge/minimise contemporary datafication practices 7
Take back control? Economic discourse Digital mirror discourse Critical Discourse A means to guard economic resources. Centralizing data with the individual. Minimize or restrict personal data flows. manage and share their data under their own conditions back to its rightful owner decide what you share, for what purpose, with whom, when and for what duration digital sovereignty: collecting data as an end-goal easily reclaim copies of all of our own data 8
Role of the individual Economic discourse Digital mirror discourse Critical Discourse An intermediator in the data economy. Moving datafication processes to a new, personal context. Knowledgeable gatekeeper which minimizes information flows. generate economic value from the data you share move processes that are not aligned with the interests of its users (co-)create new spaces for empowerment through data regulate unavoidable data flows gamification and ranking of datafication reject exploitative data practices 9
Use of data Economic discourse Digital mirror discourse Critical Discourse Collect and intermediate Collect and create a digital mirror Control information flows 1 year, 12 months, 52 weeks, 365 days, 8760 hours, 525600 minutes more than enough time to collect plenty of data. making your data work for you 360 life data profile master of your data data dashboards for health, media, expenses, ... select appropriate information flows insight from your digital footprint 10
The epistemology of data Economic discourse Digital mirror discourse Critical Discourse A value-free economic resource A value-free personal resource A value-free/value-laden personal resource the magical resource digital mirror risks and limitations of encryption, anonymization and decentralised computation our personal data will become humanity s most valuable asset of fundamental importance for both, individuals and companies process perspective: in-house development of algorithms to limit bias and discrimination cautious approach 11
Reflected issues Economic discourse Digital mirror discourse Critical Discourse Access, exclusion security and trust Access, knowledge asymmetries, profiling, exclusion, security and trust Knowledge asymmetries, profiling, exclusion, security, trust and access right to have a copy of your data right to own your data enabling and/or enforcing minimal data sharing no silo s: digital technology should serve every human providing support for rational decision making protecting against unbalanced data exchange 12
Conclusions Addressing PDS issues in context. Nuanced addressing of PDS inability to counter systemic imbalances Continuum of active roles of individuals. Different ways of taking back control Differentiate between collective and specific issues. Limitations: ideal-typical, inductive, no deductive validation 13
