Abstract
In this chapter, we are addressing the issue of privacy in our modern world of Internet, Web 2.0, personalization, location based services, and ubiquitous computing. The issue is initially viewed from the perspective of user profiles, starting from existing approaches used in social networking and mobile computing applications. Emphasis is given on the separation of personal and public information and the way it can be used in Web and mobile applications. Furthermore, identifying the importance and the actual meaning of privacy in an online world is a crucial and difficult task, which has to be carried out before trying to propose ways to protect the users’ privacy.
