CyLab Director Lorrie Cranor (@lorrietweet) works to develop usable privacy tools to inform consumers about how their personal data is collected and shared.

Cranor discusses her team's ongoing research and its impact on empowering technology users.

Cookie banners are annoying but including an X to close results in users having no idea what they are consenting to or not. @ElijahBoumaSims presented our empirical study on banner design elements at #chi2023

Excited to see the icon we designed and tested popping up all over the Internet to signal where you can go on a website for all your privacy choices

Read my latest CACM privacy column that explains my disappointment in iOS and Android privacy/safety labels and how the platforms could make them better

CyLab researchers conducted a large-scale user study, uncovering the information most important to consumers shopping for broadband internet service & determining the terminology and presentation formats that make this info most understandable and useful.

Excited that my @CyLab colleague participated in the White House IoT summit today and presented our research on IoT security and privacy labels

[Lorrie Cranor @lorrietweet]

We improved HIPAA consent for a healthcare chatbot but still hardly anyone understood what they were consenting to

[Cyber Statecraft @CyberStatecraft]

It's time for 🤫privacy 🤫 to be more strongly centered in conversations about improving IoT products. Let's take a look at some of the fundamental principles of IoT device privacy, according to @lorrietweet.

Our CAH postdocs wrote our first white paper! Hoping to inspire researchers with impactful ideas from practitioners for research to help combat hate!

Cookie consent banners are supposed to give people more control over their personal data, but in practice they have become an annoyance and generally do little to protect #privacy, writes @CyLab's @LorrieTweet in the @WSJ.

"There's a better way."

🎧 Tune in at 3pm ET today🎧 -- @CyLab's @LorrieTweet will be discussing how to fix #privacy policies with @WashingtonPost tech columnist @GeoffreyFowler on @TwitterSpaces

[Lorrie Cranor @lorrietweet]

We tested 12 variations of a cookie consent banner to measure the impact of various designs on user behavior

Congrats to @CyLab's @LorrieTweet, who was awarded an honorary doctorate from @USI_en over the weekend 📜👏

"Lorrie is a role model for all of us on how to do research that not only crosses interdisciplinary boundaries but that also has an impact."

Over 50% of @AppStore apps still don't have a #privacy label, & many labels may not accurately reflect apps' actual data practices 😮

But don't blame developers; they face several challenges with @Apple's privacy label tool, new @CyLab research shows 👇

Yesterday, Google unveiled #privacy "nutrition labels" for Android apps. CyLab's @LorrieTweet applauds Google's effort but hopes they dodge some of the pitfalls faced by Apple's labels.

"We need labels that are actually usable and useful for consumers."

Excited to finally have results to inform decisions about which online interview modes to use! @oatesmeal

[Lorrie Cranor @lorrietweet]

We read hundreds of usable privacy and security research papers so you don't have to! We focus on methods + risk representation in empirical studies. Spoiler: much less deception than you might think!
