Speech is about interaction. It is more than just passing
		  messages – the listener nods and finishes the sentence
		  for you. Interaction is so essentially a part of normal
		  speech, that non-interactive speech has its own name: it is
		  a monologue. It’s not normal. Normal speech is about
		  interaction. Privacy is a very natural part of such spoken
		  interactions. We intuitively lower our voices to a whisper
		  when we want to tell a secret. We thus change the way we
		  speak depending on the level of privacy. In a public
		  speech, we would not reveal intimate secrets. We thus
		  change the content of our speech depending on the level of
		  privacy. Furthermore, in a cafeteria, we would match our
		  speaking volume to the background noise. We therefore
		  change our speech in an interaction with the surroundings.
		  Overall, we change both the manner of speaking and its
		  content, in an interaction with our environment. Our
		  research team is interested in the question of how such
		  notions of privacy should be taken into account in the
		  design of speech interfaces, such as Alexa/Amazon,
		  Siri/Apple, Google and Mycroft. We believe that in the
		  design of good user-interfaces, you should strive for
		  technology which is intuitive to use. If your speech
		  assistant handles privacy in a similar way as a natural
		  person does, then most likely it would feel natural to the
		  user. A key concept for us is modelling the users’
		  experience of privacy. Technology should understand our
		  feelings towards privacy, how we experience it and act
		  accordingly. From the myData-perspective, this means that
		  all (speech) data is about interactions, between two or
		  more parties. Ownership of such data is then also shared
		  among the participating parties. There is no singular owner
		  of data, but access and management of data must always
		  happen in mutual agreement. In fact, the same applies to
		  many other media as well. It is obvious that chatting on
		  WhatsApp is a shared experience. Interesting (=good)
		  photographs are those which entail a story; "This is when
		  we went to the beach with Sophie." The myData concept
		  should be adapted to take into account such frequently
		  appearing real-life data. In our view, data becomes more
		  interesting when it is about an interaction. In other
		  words, since interaction is so central to our understanding
		  of the world, it should then also be reflected in our data
		  representations. To include the most significant data, we
		  should turn our attention from myData to focus on ourData.
		  Here, the importance of data is then dependent on, and even
		  defined by, with whom are you talking?<br>
