Abstract

Collection and use of personal information have enabled firms to improve their value propositions by offering personalization. On the other hand, they have caused widespread concerns by consumers that their privacy is invaded. Because previously distributed personal information can be integrated and utilized to offer more personalized services, those concerns may be intensified with the progress of the digital convergence environment. In this study, factors for privacy invasion and their impact on the privacy concerns are suggested. Then, an empirical study is conducted to examine some of the suggestions. From the analysis, several results are derived. First, as more personal data are collected, secrecy and autonomy concerns increase exponentially rather than steadily. Second, as targeting accuracy is improved, greater secrecy and autonomy concerns are expressed by consumers, but less seclusion concerns. Finally, monetary reward such as coupons can reduce seclusion concerns when targeting accuracy is high. Based on the results, implications for managing consumer privacy concerns are provided under digital convergence environment.

기업의 개인정보 수집 및 활용은 소비자에게 개인화된 상품과 서비스를 제공할 가능성을 높여주는 반면에, 소비자의 프라이버시 침해에 대한 우려를 유발시키는 양면성을 지니고 있다. 특히 TPS(Triple Play Service) 혹은 QPS(Quadruple Play Service) 등으로 대표되는 디지털 컨버전스 상품의 출시로 인해 개인 정보가 통합되면서 개인의 프라이버시 침해 우려는 더욱 높아질 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 배경하에 본 연구에서는 디지털 컨버전스 환경에서 부각되는 프라이버시 침해 요인들을 도출하고 이 요인들이 프라이버시의 구성 요소들에 미치는 잠재적 영향을 제시하였다. 또한 설문을 통해 수집된 데이터를 바탕으로 실증 분석을 수행하였으며, 주요 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 정보가 집중화 될수록 정보 프라이버시 및 관찰 프라이버시 침해 우려는 급격하게 높아진다. 둘째, 개인화 서비스의 정확성 향상은 정보 프라이버시와 관찰 프라이버시 침해 우려를 증가시키는 반면, 간섭 프라이버시에 대한우려는 감소시킨다. 마지막으로, 개인화 서비스의 정확성이 높은 경우에, 쿠폰과 같은 금전적 보상은 간섭 프라이버시를 감소시키는 효과를 가짐을 확인하였다. 분석 결과를 바탕으로 결론과 디지털 컨버전스 환경에서의 프라이버시 우려에 대응하기 위한 실무적 시사점을 제시하였다.
