Amongst the conclusions reached, the research team opines that:
The current approach to choosing between “opt in” and “opt out” is inadequate for NFC applications. Although consent is an important part of the perception of having control of one’s privacy, users cannot adequately asses how effective and at what point the individual knows when there is a default opt in or opt out...
The key danger is that the discussion of privacy in this domain will degenerate into debates over ‘regulation’ vs. ‘innovation’, as we have seen in so many other technology policy debates. For NFC to thrive, privacy must be considered in the design of the technology, the platforms, and the services.
