Information privacy7 or data privacy is the relationship between collection and dissemination of data, technology, the public expectation of privacy, and the legal issues surrounding them. The challenge in data privacy is to share data while protecting personally identifiable information. The fields of data security and information security design and utilize software, hardware, and human resources to address this issue. The ability to control what information one reveals about oneself over the Internet, and who can access that information, has become a growing concern. These concerns include whether email can be stored or read by third parties without consent, or whether third parties can track the web sites someone has visited. Another concern is whether web sites which are visited collect, store, and possibly share personally identifiable information about users. Personally identifiable information (PII), as used in information security, refers to information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single person or can be used with other sources to uniquely identify a single individual.8

Chung et al. (2017) argued that the present security vulnerabilities in IVAs present a significant threat vector that requires further analysis, and this includes issues related to user privacy. An analysis of the collected and stored data from IVAs showed that even the daily routines of users can be captured, recorded, and stored, posing a serious challenge to user privacy (Chung & Lee, 2018). Privacy concerns are an undeniably critical issue for people in online situations, specifically, as just mentioned, those interacting with virtual personal assistants. Innovations in data collection, information sharing, and information mining systems have contributed to worries in online data management, privacy concerns included (Bansal & Gefen, 2010). Information privacy is characterized as a user’s desire to control his/her own personal information (Bélanger & Crossler, 2011), with an emphasis on the user’s rights to decide and control the information and how it is delivered to others (Bansal et al., 2016).

“Information privacy” refers to individuals’ capability to control information about themselves (Bélanger et al., 2002). Correspondingly, Information privacy concern (hereafter, “privacy concern”) is defined as individuals’ perceptions of how they cannot control over their personal information in online (Dinev & Hart, 2006). In the context of the smart speaker, the user’s voice and private information can be collected and recorded unconsciously, seamlessly, and continuously in the home. Consequently, the intimate and intrusive technological features of the smart speaker have imposed new challenges on privacy literature (Benlian et al., 2019; Lau et al., 2018).
Conceptual Model of Privacy by Design

In an effort to understand the current situation in the field of personal data protection and related information privacy, it is necessary to understand the development of the legal framework in rough outlines. The beginnings of the legal protection of personal data in the EU date back to 1953, when the European Convention on Human Rights was adopted.1 In Article 8, it exercised the “right to respect for private and family life”. The protection of privacy was consolidated by Directive 95/46/EC1Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.2 in 1995. The directive laid down specific rules regarding the protection of personal data that EU members had to comply with, and also provided for individual countries to adopt national laws in the field of protection of personal data and supervisory authorities with inspection powers. The latest development in this area is the GDPR,2Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC.3 which entered into force in 2016 and came into direct application on May, 25th 2018. EU data protection rules are currently set by the GDPR, which is the most comprehensive and thorough attempt at the legal protection of information privacy in the world.
