作者:

Highlights:

• Shoppers easily provide personal identifiable information (PII).

• Priming or a warning do not influence the degree of disclosure.

• A warning, paradoxically, may even increase disclosure.

• Users need to be educated about what constitutes sensitive PII.

• Testing interventions is important to avoid possible adverse effects.
