Yet this infrastructure, often unnoticed by citizens, introduces pervasive privacy risks, from tracking, profiling, and sensitive inferences to subtle forms of self-censorship. Despite widespread deployment, little is known about how the public understands and perceives these sensing systems. To address this gap, we present an intervention based user study (n = 172) in which participants are exposed to data collection by six urban sensors, including cameras and alternative technologies commonly framed as privacy-preserving. Participants encounter either the sensors alone or sensors accompanied by real-time data visualizations. Our results reveal widespread misunderstanding of some sensors (radar, LiDAR, Wi-Fi, depth, and thermal imaging sensors), particularly their capacity for identification and for attribute inferences such as gender or age. We also identify persistent misconceptions, including the belief that Wi-Fi poses privacy risks only when users connect to public networks. While making sensors visible and visualizing collected data improves privacy awareness, these measures alone are not enough for citizens to understand the actual risks of urban sensing. We derive recommendations for privacy-respecting smart city environments grounded in citizens’ informational needs and expectations."}],"issue":"4","publication":"Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies","department":[{"_id":"679"}],"type":"journal_article","date_created":"2026-08-03T10:46:58Z"},{"oa":"1","department":[{"_id":"679"}],"type":"conference","date_created":"2026-04-23T16:03:06Z","citation":{"bibtex":"@inproceedings{Kablo_Sharafi_Arias Cabarcos_2026, title={“I store some passwords in WhatsApp”: Understanding User Experiences and Usability Challenges of Password Managers in Virtual Reality}, DOI={<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1145/3772363.3798346\">10.1145/3772363.3798346</a>}, booktitle={Proceedings of the Extended Abstracts of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems}, publisher={ACM}, author={Kablo, Emiram and Sharafi, Avishan and Arias Cabarcos, Patricia}, year={2026} }","ama":"Kablo E, Sharafi A, Arias Cabarcos P. “I store some passwords in WhatsApp”: Understanding User Experiences and Usability Challenges of Password Managers in Virtual Reality.
