ABSTRACT

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a loosely defined term describing internetconnected sensors that among other capabilities enable companies to monitor individuals. New privacy-related challenges can arise when sensors communicate with each other. These challenges call for changes to corporate privacy policies to incorporate potential IoT issues and guidance. This research investigates existing privacy policies and IoT-related research to provide IoT privacy policy recommendations. Privacy policy questions include: Who or what is notified of monitoring? When and where should there be expectations of privacy? Why and how is user data collected and how should monitoring problems be communicated? The analysis concludes with IoT-related privacy policy recommendations.

Conclusion

IoT provides companies many privacy policy-related challenges especially because IoT involves many sensors that can be connected to each other. Individuals using the company websites or any objects within the company could be subject to privacy violation when sensors miscommunicate or unknowingly with other sensors.

This research investigated six questions associated with privacy policies: who and what should be notified of monitoring activities by a company, when and where should there be an expectation of privacy, when and where should there be no expectation of privacy, why is user data collected, and how should monitoring problems be communicated. The investigation collected details of the privacy policies of 20 technology-related companies and the latest IoT-related research on privacy.

Results indicate that existing privacy policies have many features that can be used for IoT-related privacy policies. Privacy policies that incorporate IoT need to account for the increased amount of surveillance possible and the rationale for monitoring. Some recommendations for IoT monitoring policies include explaining when, where, why, and how individuals monitored by a variety of sensors that are potentially interconnected. The explanation should be readable due to the complicated technology and applications associated with IoT. Training individuals interacting with organizations on IoT technological details may have value to get a perspective of the amount of privacy they might encounter and control.
