• Title: Open Government Data Programs and Information Privacy Concerns: A Literature Review
• Authors: Mehdi Barati
• Abstract summary: Findings suggest contradictions with Fair Information Practices, reidentification risks, conflicts with Open Government Data (OGD) value propositions, and smart city data practices are significant privacy concerns in the literature. Proposed solutions include technical, legal, and procedural measures to mitigate privacy concerns.

• Abstract: This study presents a narrative review of the literature on privacy concerns of Open Government Data (OGD) programs and identifies suggested technical, procedural, and legal remedies. Peer-reviewed articles were identified and analysed from major bibliographic databases, including Web of Science, Digital ACM Library, IEEE Explore Digital Library and Science Direct. Included articles focus on identifying individual information privacy concerns from the viewpoint of OGD stakeholders or providing solutions for mitigating concerns and risks. Papers that discussed and focused on general privacy issues or privacy concerns of open data in general or open science privacy concerns were excluded. Three streams of research were identified: 1) exploring privacy concerns and balance with OGD value propositions, 2) proposing solutions for mitigating privacy concerns, and 3) developing risk-based frameworks for the OGD program at different governmental levels. Findings suggest that contradictions with Fair Information Practices, reidentification risks, conflicts with OGD value propositions, and smart city data practices are significant privacy concerns in the literature. Proposed solutions include technical, legal, and procedural measures to mitigate privacy concerns. Building on the findings, practical implications and suggested future research directions are provided.

  PrivacyLens is a novel framework designed to extend privacy-sensitive seeds into expressive vignettes and further into agent trajectories. We instantiate PrivacyLens with a collection of privacy norms grounded in privacy literature and crowdsourced seeds. State-of-the-art LMs, like GPT-4 and Llama-3-70B, leak sensitive information in 25.68% and 38.69% of cases, even when prompted with privacy-enhancing instructions.

  Data with privacy concerns comes with stringent regulations that frequently prohibited data access and data sharing. Overcoming these obstacles is key for technological progress in many real-world application scenarios that involve privacy sensitive data. Differentially private (DP) data publishing provides a compelling solution, where only a sanitized form of the data is publicly released.

  Privacy risk assessments have been touted as an objective, principled way to encourage organizations to implement privacy-by-design. Existing guidelines and methods remain vague, and there is little empirical evidence on privacy harms. We highlight the limitations and pitfalls of what is essentially a utilitarian and technocratic approach.

We explain why this term is not appropriate and outline the risks associated with over-reliance on protocols that were not designed with formal definitions of privacy in mind.
