Abstract
-
The article examines how privacy concerns, trust, and privacy literacy influence the use of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) on the Internet. It focuses particularly on the anonymization service Tor (The Onion Router), which allows users to browse the web while protecting their identity and personal data.
The study builds on the Internet Users’ Information Privacy Concerns (IUIPC) model, a framework commonly used to measure how privacy concerns affect people’s willingness to use online technologies. However, the authors argue that this model does not fully apply to privacy-enhancing technologies because these tools are specifically designed to reduce privacy risks, which changes how trust and risk perceptions influence user behavior.
