Abstract

Motivation

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) [2] is now active for quite a while and related versions also exists for non-EU countries. However, many users are still not aware of recent changes [1]. In particular, many of the used terms like data subject, data owner and also of the users’ rights are not easily accessible to the users. Therefore, a serious game should be developed to allow users a more easily access to the GDPR.

Goal

Develop a serious game to foster users’ understanding of the GDPR.

Helpful Knowledge

Familiarity with the idea of serious games and gamification
Fundamentals in privacy and data protection
Familiarity in a programming language or in designing board/card games
Creativity
