Abstract: The increasing number of information privacy breaches undertaken by IT companies and the reliance of different governmental regulatory regimes on complaints to initiate privacy breach investigations point to the need for better understanding the factors that influence the behaviors of those who perceive themselves to have been victims of information privacy breaches. Given that little research has examined the behavioral and emotional reactions of information privacy breach victims, the present study develops a research framework that is based on coping theory. The framework identifies individual and environmental factors whose different configurations are hypothesized to influence the reactions of individual privacy breach victims. We propose to use Qualitative Comparative Analysis as an analytical approach to examine how different configurations of factors identified in the proposed framework influence different coping instances of privacy breach victims.

Abstract: Conducting international e-business requires knowledge about the privacy and consumer protection laws, and regulations that affect transacting parties. To support this requirement, we describe a high-level organization for a Web-privacy ontology composed of a hierarchical organization of formal laws and acts, informal cultural guidelines and standards for business in general, and specific legislation and guidelines for interest groups. A prototype of a Web privacy ontology is built for the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). The ontology is built upon XML infrastructure. We propose that existing and to-be-designed XML-based P3P tags be incorporated in any regulatory privacy ontology to enable future P3P agents to automatically match not only the business’ privacy policy with the user preference rules, but also to match the business privacy policy with the privacy laws (for a start), and later with commerce and othertype laws, applicable to the stated legal jurisdiction(s) in which the business operates.
