Exploring and Improving the Accessibility of Data Privacy-related Information for People Who Are Blind or Low-vision (2208.09959v1)

Abstract: We present a study of privacy attitudes and behaviors of people who are blind or low vision. Our study involved in-depth interviews with 21 US participants. The study explores their risk perceptions and also whether and how they go about obtaining information about the data practices of digital technologies with which they interact. One objective of the study is to better understand this user group's needs for more accessible privacy tools. We also share some reflections on the challenge of recruiting an inclusive sample of participants from an already underrepresented user group in computing and how we were able to overcome this challenge.
