Privacy literacy

Privacy literacy (PL) entails knowledge, skills, and dispositions regarding personal information and its place in the information ecosystem. PL enables people to protect their own privacy, as well as to anticipate, recognize, and mitigate the impact of personal information profiling on their access to information, goods, and services as a result of algorithmic decision-making and artificial intelligence (AI). Threshold concepts in information literacy (IL), including the ‘information has value’ frame of the Association of College and Research Libraries’ (ACRL) Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, inform the development of PL as a specialization within library instruction. As a maturing discipline, IL has given rise to the emergence of parallel literacies like PL that further inform individuals’ engagement with and participation in the information ecosystem.
