沙特父母对孩子智能设备应用程序的隐私担忧
Saudi Parents' Privacy Concerns about Their Children's Smart Device Applications
摘要：
在本文中，我们调查了沙特父母对孩子智能设备应用程序（应用程序）的隐私问题。为此，我们进行了一项调查，并分析了119份答复。我们的结果显示，沙特父母在使用智能设备应用程序时对孩子的隐私表示高度担忧。然而，他们对应用程序内容的担忧程度高于隐私问题，例如应用程序访问敏感数据的请求。此外，父母的担忧与大多数儿童安装的应用程序不一致，这些应用程序包含不适合其年龄的应用程序，需要父母指导，并要求访问敏感数据，如位置。我们还讨论了沙特父母的做法和关注的几个方面，与西方（主要来自英国）和中国父母在以前的报告中所报告的情况相比。我们发现了有趣的模式并建立了新的关系。例如，沙特和西方父母比中国父母更关注隐私。最后，我们测试了14个隐私实践和关注对高与低社会经济阶层（父母的教育，技术背景和收入），以发现是否有显着差异之间的高和低阶层（我们表示这些差异为“数字鸿沟“）。在42个测试（14个属性x 3个类）中，我们只在7个测试中发现了高和低类之间的显着差异。虽然这总体上是一个积极的趋势，但必须努力缩小这些差距。本文的结果提供了关键的发现，以确定改进的领域和建议，特别是对于沙特人，可供家长，开发商，研究人员，监管机构和政策制定者使用。
英文摘要：
In this paper, we investigate Saudi parents' privacy concerns regarding their children's smart device applications (apps). To this end, we conducted a survey and analysed 119 responses. Our results show that Saudi parents expressed a high level of concern regarding their children's privacy when using smart device apps. However, they expressed higher concerns about apps' content than privacy issues such as apps' requests to access sensitive data. Furthermore, parents' concerns are not in line with most of the children's installed apps, which contain apps inappropriate for their age, require parental guidance, and request access to sensitive data such as location. We also discuss several aspects of Saudi parents' practices and concerns compared to those reported by Western (mainly from the UK) and Chinese parents in previous reports. We found interesting patterns and established new relationships. For example, Saudi and Western parents show higher levels of privacy concerns than Chinese parents. Finally, we tested 14 privacy practices and concerns against high versus low socioeconomic classes (parents' education, technical background, and income) to find whether there are significant differences between high and low classes (we denote these differences by "digital divide"). Out of 42 tests (14 properties x 3 classes) we found significant differences between high and low classes in 7 tests only. While this is a positive trend overall, it is important to work on bridging these gaps. The results of this paper provide key findings to identify areas of improvement and recommendations, especially for Saudis, which can be used by parents, developers, researchers, regulators, and policy makers.
