Exploring the Privacy Horizons: A Survey on HCI & HRI

With the constant evolution of technology and the rise of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), Human-Technology Interaction (HTI) is becoming more important in everyday life, covering several routines closely linked to technology. In this survey, we aim to examine the important domain of user privacy in the contexts of HCI and HRI. Additionally, we analyze privacy issues, ranging from data collection to ethical and legal implications. Through a detailed analysis, we also highlight challenges and strategies for designing interactive systems that prioritize end-user privacy. This survey aims to provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities of integrating privacy into interactive systems. Finally, we will present the different strategies and techniques to be used, such as encryption and anonymization, to improve the level of privacy protection.
