Kurzfassung
This data is analysed and reported in the Publication "Factors shaping privacy trade-offs in app downloads: The role of privacy ratings, friends' recommendation and resignation among young adults and adults". The study examines which factors shape privacy trade-offs among young adults and adults when downloading apps. In Study 1, we examined young adults aged 16–29 years to assess if low and high privacy-ratings for apps recommended by friends or a social media platform and offering relevant developmental opportunities affect the probability of downloading them. In Study 2, we examined users aged 18–69 years to assess if low and high privacy-rated apps recommended by friends or found when browsing online, age-related differences, and privacy resignation affect the probability of sharing data with them.
