Dear Visitor,

We are running a project - called uTRUSTit - that investigates user perception of trust, security and privacy when working with information technology devices. You can help us by answering a few questions below. At the end of the project, we will deliver a set of guidelines on user needs that help user interface developers, to which your answers mean an essential input. For each question where you find multiple answers you can only choose one answer. All questions but 9.,10. and 11. are optional.

Thank you for your help in advance!

I feel more trust and security without being disturbed They are a bit annoying but I acknowledge their necessity They have no influence on my perception of trust or comfort They are useless to me, but not annoying To me they are both useless and annoying

I would rather have the device itself decide whether it is safe to disclose my data I want to be informed about the trustworthiness of the service that asks my data, then let me choose if I want to provide it

I want the system to remember my preferences and not to ask the same thing twice I expect to be asked about disclosing my data each time

	I think they must be managed in the background by smart devices, to ensure and undisturbed user experience.
	My security should be managed by devices themselves, but I want to be involved in privacy questions. To make conscious decisions about trusting a service asking for my private data, I expect help from my device.
	I rather handle both security and privacy issues myself, even at the cost of user experience.
	None of the above.

	I do my best to safeguard my sensitive data, even if it prevents me from using certain services.
	I usually watch for my sensitive data, but I sometimes decide to provide them and take some risk in order to use a service I need.
	I am eager to interconnect my devices and services (e.g. connect my Instagram and Facebook account) − even at the cost of disclosing some sensitive data − and hope my data will not be used for malicious purposes.
	None of the above.

I am a pioneer – always keen on new devices and services, even before they become a trend. I follow trends – if a gadget/application gets popular, I check it out. I am not specifically interested in technology, only have what is necessary to my activities. I am not comfortable with technology, and have a hard time using it if I have to. None of the above.
