VOME is a research project exploring how people and user communities engage with concepts of privacy and consent in online interactions. 

The aim is to develop models of online privacy that can help users make clearer choices about what they disclose online.

These decision-making models will facilitate a better dialogue between the designers of privacy and consent functionality and their customers. 

In this session

Following the success of the VOME research workshop hosted by the GIST Foundation in December, we'd like to turn to some of the practical implementation challenges of improving the User Experience of Online Privacy. We are really interested to hear you feedback on:

What you think about the design principles VOME research has developed*

How you might implement ideas behind the research

How and why might your clients and customers be interested in making their information management values visible to their service users, customers or clients

We’d like to combine discussion with a practical paper prototyping session in groups to generate some feedback for the researchers to integrate into the evaluation of the propositions already developed.

Who should take part?

Designers and developers of online services

Organisations that commission or provide online services

People with a professional or personal interest in privacy and data consent

* Don't worry if you couldn't make it to the first workshop - we'll share the design principles with you so you are up to speed.

Visualization and Other Methods of Expression (VOME) is a three-year collaborative research project, bringing researchers from Royal Holloway, University of London, Salford and Cranfield Universities together with consent and privacy specialists at Consult Hyperion and Sunderland City Council. 

Directions to the GIST Lab, a creative community collaboration space operated by the GIST Foundation in partnership with the Showroom Workstation, are here.  Doors open from 6.15pm for a 6.30pm start.
