Social & Regulatory: Privacy, Security& intellectual Property
How Do Social and Regulatory Issues Affect the Level of Trust In a Brand or a Business? Would you buy online from a company you don’t trust? What creates trust? Is Trust Important? Why?
Do People’s Attitudes About the Privacy and Security Of Their Personal Data Affect Trust? It’s one important factor. Students who have had a personal experience with something like identity theft or the effects of a data breach may have stronger attitudes than those who have not had personal experience.

You will usually find both relatively quickly. There is a search feature but the site is slow and I’m not sure the search works well.
