As the use of ubiquitous multimedia communication increases so do theprivacy risks associated with widespread accessibility and utilisation of data generated by such applications. Most invasions of privacy are not intentional but due to designers inability to anticipate how this data could be used, by whom, and how this might affect users. This paperaddresses the problem by providing a model of user perceptions of privacyin multimedia environments. The model has been derived from an analysisof empirical studies conducted by the authors and other researchers andaids designers to determine which information users regard as private,and in which context. It also identifies trade-offs that users are willing to make rendering some privacy risks acceptable. To demonstrate howthis model can be used to assess the privacy implications of multimediacommunications in a specific context, an example of the models applicationfor a specific usage scenario is provided.
