Digital Nudging — Implikationen für die Verbraucherforschung und die Verbraucherpolitik

In September 2019, consumer researchers met at the Wissenschaftszentrum Bonn for a forum of the Consumer Research Network. The aim of this forum was to investigate, together with the Federal Offi ce for Information Security, the various aspects of data security and privacy. Participants debated the extent to which providers employ digital nudging to infl uence user decisions with regard to data security and privacy. On the other hand, politicians can also use digital nudging to make consumers aware of these issues. In this Zeitgesprach, we document the contributions of the speakers.
