Online Data Privacy from Attitudes to Action: an evidence review

This evidence review for The Carnegie UK Trust, delivered by Ipsos Scotland, explores what existing research says about what the UK public think about data privacy.

The Carnegie UK Trust commissioned Ipsos Scotland to conduct a review of the evidence around online data privacy. The review aimed to answer three key questions:

  1. What do people think about online data privacy?
  2. What actions do people take in relation to their online privacy?
  3. What trade-offs are people willing to make relating to their data privacy?
