Abstract:
The advent of the digital age has brought about numerous opportunities and challenges in terms of
data privacy, especially in developing countries like Bangladesh. This research aims to address the
limited usage of privacy-preserving software systems (PPSS) in the country by examining the
current landscape and practices of user data protection. By collecting survey data from various
demographic groups, the study investigates the level of awareness and understanding of data
privacy threats, as well as the concerns and preferences of users. Through an extensive survey
involving 84 participants, the research analyzes the unique obstacles faced by Bangladesh, such as
the absence of comprehensive data protection laws and low levels of awareness. The findings not
only shed light on the barriers to PPSS adoption but also offer practical recommendations for
policymakers, organizations, and developers. By bridging the gap in understanding user
motivations and decision- making processes, this study contributes to the broader discussion on
data privacy. The insights gained from this research empower individuals to comprehend and
safeguard their data, make informed choices regarding technology, and actively participate in a
more secure and fair digital future
