Introduction

Massive use of ICT in business and private life has led to personally identifiable information (PII), i.e. information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single person or can be used with other sources to uniquely identify a single individual (Wikipedia). In addition, the use of social software and in particular social networking applications like Facebook allows to draw quite extensive digital profiles of many people. This situation requires - at least in principle - that persons adopt some kind of strategy to manage this information (Jones, 2008).

Some Personal Information Management tools also may touch privacy issues. Wikipedia's Internet privacy article lists several types of risks to privacy, i.e. HTTP cookies, Flash cookies, Evercookies, Photographs, ernet, Search engines, Data logging, Privacy within social networking sites, and Internet service providers.
