Abstract
In the introduction, the importance of security in user modeling was emphasized for several reasons. First, user adaptive systems process user-related information (i.e., personal data) in order to adapt to the user’s characteristics. The processing of user related information is subject to mandatory and voluntary regulations (e.g., laws and guidelines) which demand security mechanisms. Second, the secrecy or confidentiality of personal information is crucial for many users when deciding whether or not to use a user modeling system.
