Privacy Issues in Holistic Recommendations

Abstract

In this paper we point out some relevant issues in relation to privacy when providing holistic recommendations. We emphasize that a holistic recommender should be fair, explainable and privacy-preserving to ensure the ethicality of the recommendation process. Further, we point out relevant research questions that should be addressed in the future, as well as propose some preliminary suggestions to face the emergent issues with reference to privacy in the recommendation domain.
