As such, people are likely to be unaware of the privacy implications, thus creating a gap between the belief of what a device does and its actual behaviour. The responses collected in our online survey indicate that participants tend to see {IoT} as computer -like devices, rather than appliances, though there are some important misconceptions about the way these devices function. We also find that privacy is a primary concern when it comes to {IoT} adoption. Nevertheless, participants have a propensity to keep using {IoT} devices even after they find out that the device abuses their trust. Finally, we provide recommendations to {IoT} vendors, to make their products more transparent in terms of privacy.}, eventtitle = {{IFIP} International Summer School on Privacy and Identity Management}, pages = {132--149}, booktitle = {Privacy and Identity Management.
