APRIM: An account and personal information manager
Abstract
Most online services require the creation of a user account and the disclosure of personal data, such as addresses or phone numbers. With the multiplication of these services, the digital footprint left by the users rapidly grows. In order to increase the users' awareness and support them in the management of these data, we propose a new account and personal information manager called APRIM. Our solution logs disclosed personal information and presents it to the users in the form of a matrix. We have designed and implemented a proof-of-concept and evaluated the concepts and the usability of APRIM by means of a user study involving 18 participants. The results confirm that APRIM is a usable solution to keep track of users' digital footprint.
