Advertisements

Developers are users too and they are impacted by many of the same usability issues that plague users. In this project we look at how developers engage with privacy and think about ways to better support them in doing so.

Choice framing impacts app developers’ decisions about the settings of mobile advertisements which in turn impacts their users’ privacy. We anticipate that framing and nudging have an impact on choices made by developers. We conducted a survey-based online experiment with 400 participants with experience in mobile app development to find out.
