AbstractPrivacy is a basic human need and it spans all areas of human activity. For that, the concept of privacy is notoriously known as very difficult to define. Even more so, the technological era has given a whole new meaning to privacy. Modern technological solutions, such as Active Assisted Living technologies, provide great benefits in healthcare and at the same time posit a risk of violating privacy. The Privacy by Design paradigm in technology allows data protection through inherent technology design (Schaar, 2010). Different visual privacy preservation filters are being developed for video-based AAL technologies (Climent-Pérez & Florez-Revuelta, 2021; Ravi et al., 2021). On the other side of these technological advancements, is the user perspective. The study aims to understand what privacy means for older adults and what implications it has in relation to active assisted living technology. We are specifically interested in knowing how older adults define privacy as a concept, in relation to their lives, and in relation to AAL technology. What are their attitudes toward AAL technology and Video-based AAL technology (VAAL) specifically and how does it affect their privacy.Keywords: privacy, active assisted living, lifelogging, qualitative study, exploratory interviews
