AB - This study investigates privacy concerns related to online media usage across gender and age groups in Korea using data from the 2022 Korea Media Panel Survey (N=9,941). Results indicate no significant gender differences in privacy awareness; however, considerable age-related variations were observed.
Children aged 6–9 exhibited the lowest concern levels, while individuals in their 20s and 30s reported the highest. These findings highlight the necessity for age-specific privacy solutions. The study proposes adaptive privacy management systems and user interfaces tailored to age-related cognitive characteristics.
For younger users, co-learning privacy education programs with caregivers are recommended, while for adults, tools emphasizing autonomy and customization are more suitable. These insights contribute to developing user-centered privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) and age-aware human–machine interfaces (HMIs), offering engineering-oriented strategies for enhancing digital privacy protection.
