A Privacy By Design Approach To Lifelogging

Technologies that enable us to capture and publish data with ease are likely to pose new concerns about privacy of the individual. In this article we examine the privacy implications of lifelogging, a new concept being explored by early adopters, which utilises wearable devices to generate a media rich archive of their life experience. The concept of privacy and the privacy implications of lifelogging are presented and discussed in terms of the four key actors in the lifelogging universe. An initial privacy-aware lifelogging framework, based on the key principles of privacy by design is presented and motivated.
