- Abstract- A key part of efforts to improve consumer confidence to ensure the growth of electronic commerce requires a balance and promotion of an effective information privacy protection. The idea of a Socio-Technical System (STS) enabled by a Privacy framework to provide better privacy protection is often the focus of several privacy researchers. Given two types of similar STS where one is enabled by a Privacy framework, the other is not, how do web user’s rate the sites in terms of privacy trust. This paper addresses and compares privacy trust factors between the two. Privacy Framework enabled websites act as an important tool in encouraging the development of appropriate information privacy protections. In addition, they provide a better way for individuals to retain a measure of control over their personal information. However, an end user is more concerned with the effective implementation of privacy policies by the service providers as presented in their privacy policies. This paper hypothesizes that ‘Framework Enabled STS’ have increased information privacy protection than their counterparts that are not enabled by any privacy frameworks.
