Abstract
Consumers increasingly bring IoT devices into their living spaces without understanding how their data is collected, processed, and used. We present PrivacyCube, a novel tangible device designed to explore the extent to which privacy awareness in smart homes can be elevated. PrivacyCube visualises IoT devices' data consumption displaying privacy-related notices. PrivacyCube aims at assisting families to (i) understand key privacy aspects better and (ii) have conversations around data management practices of IoT devices. Thus, families can learn and make informed privacy decisions collectively.
