Privacy and Online Tracking Perceptions

Our recent privacy survey revealed what expectations and concerns US Internet users have toward privacy and online tracking. The report covers how respondents value their privacy compared to the perceived benefits of tracking, what countermeasures they know and apply, as well as who, in their opinion, should be responsible for protecting users’ online privacy.

A staggering number of respondents, 65.1%, think that Internet service providers are in the position to protect them from unwanted tracking. Furthermore, when asked about who they would contact in case their private data was compromised, nearly half of all respondents (43.2%) stated they would reach out to their Internet service provider.
