Abstract
Smart cities are becoming more popular and prevalent, and so are the privacy issues surrounding this innovative concept. As technology and innovation progresses, privacy and security issues need to adapt. As the triple helix collaboration between governments, businesses and academics is the most important collaboration in innovation, it is important to know if these sectors regard to privacy differently or not, to find out whether privacy measures are as effective as they can be. The main question of this research therefore is: “Do governments, businesses, and academics in smart city Groningen deal with privacy differently?” To answer this question, a series of seven in depth, semi-structured interviews have been conducted with representatives from each of these three sectors, in which respondents were asked questions about privacy, revealing how important they considered privacy to be, as well as finding whether they carried out privacy policy. As a result, governments had a higher priority on privacy and considered it more important compared to businesses and academics. They also were more prone to carry out privacy policy, even beyond the regulations, while businesses stayed only within regulations. Thus, there is a difference between how governments, businesses, and academics deal with privacy in Groningen. Based on this result and other research, this paper suggests effective collaboration between these three sectors, to help deal with privacy issues in the future.
