  Recent changes to data protection regulation, particularly in Europe, are
changing the design landscape for smart devices, requiring new design
techniques to ensure that devices are able to adequately protect users' data. A
particularly interesting space in which to explore and address these challenges
is the smart home, which presents a multitude of difficult social and technical
problems in an intimate and highly private context. This position paper
outlines the motivation and research approach of a new project aiming to inform
the future of data protection by design and by default in smart homes through a
combination of ethnography and speculative design.
