• Abstract: We present a study of privacy attitudes and behaviors of people who are blind or low vision. Our study involved in-depth interviews with 21 US participants. The study explores their risk perceptions and also whether and how they go about obtaining information about the data practices of digital technologies with which they interact. One objective of the study is to better understand this user group's needs for more accessible privacy tools. We also share some reflections on the challenge of recruiting an inclusive sample of participants from an already underrepresented user group in computing and how we were able to overcome this challenge.

  Blind people are often called to contribute image data to datasets for AI innovation. Yet, the visual inspection of the contributed images is inaccessible. To address this gap, we engage 10 blind participants in a scenario where they wear smartglasses and collect image data using an AI-infused application in their homes.

  We use Brain-Computer Interfacing technology to infer users' preferences, their attentional correlates towards visual content, and their associations with affective experience. We link these to relevant applications, such as information retrieval, personalized steering of generative models, and crowdsourcing population estimates of affective experiences.

  We present a pair of studies where 13 blind participants engage in data capturing activities. We see how different factors influence blind participants' willingness to share study data as they assess risk-benefit tradeoffs. The majority support sharing of their data to improve technology but also express concerns over commercial use, associated metadata, and the lack of transparency about the impact of their data.

  The emergence of COVID-19 has had a global and profound impact, not only on society as a whole, but also on the lives of individuals. Various prevention measures were introduced around the world to limit the transmission of the disease, including face masks, mandates for social distancing and regular disinfection in public spaces, and the use of screening applications. These developments triggered the need for novel and improved computer vision techniques capable of (i) providing support to the prevention measures through an automated analysis of visual data, on the one hand, and (ii) facilitating normal operation of existing vision-based services, such as biometric authentication

  A prominent proposal at W3C only allows sharing advertising signals through aggregated, differentially private reports of past displays. To study this proposal extensively, an open Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning Challenge took place at AdKDD'21. A key finding is that learning models on large, aggregated data in the presence of a small set of unaggregated data points can be surprisingly efficient and cheap.

  We present an alternative method to ask participants to delegate their right of access to the researchers. We discuss the legal grounds for doing this, the advantages it can bring to both researchers and data subjects, and present a procedural and technical design. We tested our method in a pilot study in the Netherlands, and found that it creates a win-win for both the researchers and the participants.

  Blind people have limited access to information about their surroundings, which is important for ensuring one's safety, managing social interactions, and identifying approaching pedestrians. With advances in computer vision, wearable cameras can provide equitable access to such information. The always-on nature of these assistive technologies poses privacy concerns for parties that may get recorded. We explore this tension from both perspectives, those of passersby and blind users, taking into account camera visibility, in-person versus remote experience, and extracted visual information.
