• Title: Perception of Digital Privacy Protection: An Empirical Study using GDPR Framework
• Authors: Hamoud Alhazmi, Ahmed Imran, Mohammad Abu Alsheikh,
• Abstract summary: This study investigates people perception of digital privacy protection of government data using the General Data Protection Perception Regulation ( systems dichotomy) framework. Findings suggest a dichotomy in perception in protecting people privacy rights. The right to object by granting and with-drawing consent is perceived as the least protected. Second, the study shows evidence of a social dilemma in people perception of digital privacy based on their context and culture.

• Abstract: Perception of privacy is a contested concept, which is also evolving along with the rapid proliferation and expansion of technological advancements. Information systems (IS) applications incorporate various sensing infrastructures, high-speed networks, and computing components that enable pervasive data collection about people. Any digital privacy breach within such systems can result in harmful and far-reaching impacts on individuals and societies. Accordingly, IS organisations have a legal and ethical responsibility to respect and protect individuals digital privacy rights. This study investigates people perception of digital privacy protection of government data using the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) framework. Findings suggest a dichotomy of perception in protecting people privacy rights. For example, people perceive the right to be informed as the most respected and protected in Information Technology (IT) systems. On the contrary, the right to object by granting and with-drawing consent is perceived as the least protected. Second, the study shows evidence of a social dilemma in people perception of digital privacy based on their context and culture.

  The study investigates the impact of digital privacy laws on user trust by comparing regulations in the Netherlands, Ghana, and Malaysia. The main findings reveal that while the General Protection Regulation in the Netherlands is strict, its practical impact is limited by challenges enforcement. In Ghana, Data Protection Act is underutilized due to low public awareness and insufficient enforcement, leading to reliance on personal protective measures. In Malaysia, trust in digital services is largely dependent on the security practices of individual platforms rather than the Personal Data Protection Act.
