  This study presents a narrative review of the literature on privacy concerns
of Open Government Data (OGD) programs and identifies suggested technical,
procedural, and legal remedies. Peer-reviewed articles were identified and
analysed from major bibliographic databases, including Web of Science, Digital
ACM Library, IEEE Explore Digital Library and Science Direct. Included articles
focus on identifying individual information privacy concerns from the viewpoint
of OGD stakeholders or providing solutions for mitigating concerns and risks.
Papers that discussed and focused on general privacy issues or privacy concerns
of open data in general or open science privacy concerns were excluded. Three
streams of research were identified: 1) exploring privacy concerns and balance
with OGD value propositions, 2) proposing solutions for mitigating privacy
concerns, and 3) developing risk-based frameworks for the OGD program at
different governmental levels. Findings suggest that contradictions with Fair
Information Practices, reidentification risks, conflicts with OGD value
propositions, and smart city data practices are significant privacy concerns in
the literature. Proposed solutions include technical, legal, and procedural
measures to mitigate privacy concerns. Building on the findings, practical
implications and suggested future research directions are provided.
