Data dashboards are designed to help users manage data collected about them.However, prior work showed that exposure to some dashboards, notably Google'sMy Activity dashboard, results in significant decreases in perceived concernand increases in perceived benefit from data collection, contrary toexpectations. We theorize that this result is due to the fact that datadashboards currently do not sufficiently "connect the dots" of the data foodchain, that is, by connecting data collection with the use of that data. Toevaluate this, we designed a study where participants assigned advertisinginterest labels to their own real activities, effectively acting as abehavioral advertising engine to "connect the dots." When comparing pre- andpost-labeling task responses, we find no significant difference in concern withGoogle's data collection practices, which indicates that participants' priorsare maintained after more exposure to the data food chain (differing from priorwork), suggesting that data dashboards that offer deeper perspectives of howdata collection is used have potential. However, these gains are offset whenparticipants are exposed to their true interest labels inferred by Google.Concern for data collection dropped significantly as participants viewedGoogle's labeling as generic compared to their own more specific labeling. Thispresents a possible new paradox that must be overcome when designing datadashboards, the generic paradox, which occurs when users misalign individual,generic inferences from collected data as benign compared to the totality andspecificity of many generic inferences made about them.
