Abstract
This article analyses the nature of personal information according to privacy and proposes different privacy managing solutions for each type of information. Mainly focused on short-term information, the “Fair Trade” metaphor will be presented as a mean to control privacy in a balance between sharing and getting information. Combined with the appropriate monitoring and punitive tools we hypothesize that this balance will reduce system abuses and enrich the information services provided. Finally a context-aware Instant Messenger prototype, based on the “Fair Trade” metaphor, will be introduced to evaluate our hypothesis.
