摘要:The purpose of this study is to add to the current research concerning the differing perceptions of data privacy amongvarious groups of people, in this case college students who attend a large, Midwestern university. This study isconducted to better understand how university students view their privacy rights related to their use of technology.Qualitative data were collected through focus group discussions with 18 students from different disciplines throughoutthe university. The focus group results suggest that university students have a high level of concern over their dataprivacy, but lack the knowledge to protect themselves. Additionally, the Millennials, primarily university-agedstudents, were the first group to begin using technology and social media on a regular basis which leads to ademonstration of carelessness regarding what personal information they post online.
