  In the the current post-GDPR landscape, privacy notices have become ever more
prevalent on our phones and online. However, these notices are not well suited
to their purpose of helping users make informed decisions. I suggest that
instead of utilizing notice to eliciting informed consent, we could repurpose
privacy notices to create the space for more meaningful, value-centered user
decisions. Value-centered privacy decisions, or those that accurately reflect
who we are and what we value, encapsulate the intuitive role of personal values
in data privacy decisions. To explore how notices could be repurposed to
support such decisions, I utilize Suzy Killmister's four-dimensional theory of
autonomy (4DT) to operationalize value-centered privacy decisions. I then
assess the degree that an existing technology, Personalized Privacy Assistants
(PPAs), uses notices in a manner that allows for value-centered
decision-making. Lastly, I explore the implications of the PPA assessment for
designing a new assistant, called a value-centered privacy assistant (VcPA). A
VcPA could ideally utilized notice to assists users in value-centered app
selection and in other data privacy decisions.
