Digital Privacy and Security Survey 2021
A discussion about the results of Calyx Institute’s first Digital Privacy and Security Survey. The study was conducted between October and December 2021 and a total of 1146 individuals from different parts of the world responded the online survey, which contained 34 questions, available in Spanish and English. Calyx Institute sought to provide insights about people’s attitudes towards digital privacy and security, identify their awareness of protection and protective behavior, and explore internet users’ knowledge and concerns related to digital privacy and security.
