Abstrakt: The purpose of this study is to add to the current research concerning the differing perceptions of data privacy among various groups of people, in this case college students who attend a large, Midwestern university. This study is conducted to better understand how university students view their privacy rights related to their use of technology. Qualitative data were collected through focus group discussions with 18 students from different disciplines throughout the university. The focus group results suggest that university students have a high level of concern over their data privacy, but lack the knowledge to protect themselves. Additionally, the Millennials, primarily university-aged students, were the first group to begin using technology and social media on a regular basis which leads to a demonstration of carelessness regarding what personal information they post online.
