About this event
The dominant belief around the use of data is that as people become more knowledgeable about how their data is used, the more comfortable they will be. However, could it be that people who are more aware of data practices are in fact more concerned by what they know? This presentation will use data from the UK-based Living with Data project to answer this question.
This talk will be followed by an open discussion.
