Privacy

Abstract

The Internet improved the individual's ability to interact with others by changing the way people live and relate. However, the connected world brings many challenges, like privacy in designing system interfaces. This article aims to analyze how privacy has been treated in Brazilian Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researches, in order to verify how the fourth challenge published in the Brazilian Great Challenges of Research in HCI (I GranDIHC-BR) report - about privacy and user's information visibility - has contributed to more researches about privacy among ten editions of Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computational Systems (IHC Brazil). For this, we mapped 314 complete articles published in the last ten editions of the IHC Brazil, in a comparative approach, focusing on publications about privacy: five editions before and five editions after the I GranDIHC-BR, using systematic literature review (SLR) method. As a result, we identified few articles related to the topic, most of them about social network systems privacy and focused on understanding the user's perception of privacy. These findings demonstrate that there are still many challenges on the subject to be investigated by the HCI community.
