2.6 Managing digital identity
Knowledge
I am aware that digital identity refers to (1) the method of authenticating a user on a website or an online service, and also to (2) a set of data identifying a user by means of tracing their digital activities, actions and contributions on the internet or digital devices (e.g. pages viewed, purchase history), personal data (e.g. name, username, profile data such as age, gender, hobbies) and context data (e.g. geographical location).
Knowledge
I am aware that AI systems collect and process multiple types of user data (e.g. personal data, behavioural data and contextual data) to create user profiles which are then used, for example, to predict what the user might want to see or do next (e.g. offer advertisements, recommendations, services). (AI)
Knowledge
I know that in the EU, one has the right to ask a website’s or search engine’s administrators to access personal data held about you (right of access), to update or correct them (right of rectification), or remove them (right of erasure, also known as the Right To Be Forgotten).
Knowledge
I am aware that there are ways to limit and manage the tracking of one’s activities on the internet, such as software features (e.g. private browsing, deletion of cookies) and privacy-enhancing tools and product/service features (e.g. custom consent for cookies, opting out of personalised ads).
Skills
I know how to create and manage profiles in digital environments for personal purposes (e.g. civic participation, e-commerce, social media use) and professional purposes (e.g. create a profile on an online employment platform).
Skills
I know how to adopt information and communication practices in order to build a positive online identity (e.g. by adopting healthy, safe and ethical behaviours, such as avoiding stereotypes and consumerism).
Skills
I am able to conduct an individual or family name search in order to inspect one’s own digital footprint in online environments (e.g. to detect any potentially troubling posts or images, to exercise one’s legal rights).
Skills
I am able to verify and modify what type of metadata (e.g. location, time) is included in pictures being shared in order to protect privacy.
Skills
I know what strategies to use in order to control, manage or delete data that is collected/curated by online systems (e.g. keeping track of services used, listing online accounts, deleting accounts that are not in use).
Skills
I know how to modify user configurations (e.g. in apps, software, digital platforms) to enable, prevent or moderate the AI system tracking, collecting or analysing data (e.g. not allowing the mobile phone to track the user’s location). (AI)
Attitudes
I consider the benefits (e.g. fast authentication process, user preferences) and risks (e.g. having identities stolen, personal data exploited by third parties) when managing one or multiple digital identities across digital systems, apps and services.
Attitudes
I am inclined to check and select website cookies to be installed (e.g. accepting only technical cookies) when the website provides users with this option.
Attitudes
I am careful about keeping my own and others’ personal information private (e.g. vacations or birthday photos; religious or political comments).
Attitudes
I can identify both the positive and negative implications of the use of all data (collection, encoding and processing), but especially personal data, by AI-driven digital technologies such as apps and online services. (AI)
Use Case Employment scenario
