With the invention and rise of the Internet of Things, a technology that facilitates the gathering and use of personal data, the importance of the security and the integrity of the user has increased. The purpose of this study is to investigate the different outlooks of two different target groups, professional developers and users, on the subject of integrity and personalization in the digital sphere of systems development. A qualitative approach was used for this study. Interviews were conducted with 6 different professionals in the field of development and design. To gather data from the nonprofessionals a survey was used. The data was then analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The result implies that users are more concerned with the impact Internet of Things have on their privacy and integrity than the producers. We conclude that this stems from not enough awareness from the consumers of the actual risks and benefits of personalization. From our analysis we then developed a model to aid developers in working with consumers. This framework allows the user to divulge only the data they are comfortable with, while also giving them the opportunity to receive a more tailored service if they choose to share more.
