Privacy, security, and ethics are increasingly important topics in digital governance. For example, with more affordable technologies for handling significant volumes of data being available, government organisations worldwide are striving for more data-driven operations. Sensory data from various types of infrastructure, as well as data on citizens and their behaviour, is sometimes discussed in terms of being the “new oil” in society. With this kind of data, new and improved public services can potentially be created. However, increased use and manipulation of various data types also bring questions regarding citizens’ right to privacy, information security, and ethics. This Track welcomes papers that, in one way or another, address privacy, security, and/or ethics in digital governance. For example, we welcome empirical studies and conceptual papers on various issues related to privacy, security, and/or ethics. We particularly welcome papers that investigate and illustrate how privacy, security, and/or ethics can be addressed and dealt with in digital governance.
