For systems that collect private information, people with disabilities may need the system to protect their privacy, even when they are not doing things that other users might be expected to do to guard their own privacy.

• "
• shoulder surfing
• "
• A person with limited mobility may not be able to effectively shield PIN input on a pinpad mounted at the end of their reach range that others might do in similar situations.
• A person using a speaker in public might not know that information on a screen has private information and that it will potentially be read aloud.
• A person might not know that some pieces of information can cause a serious privacy risk if others were to get it.
• A person might not know that the default option for a post is public instead of other, more private levels of access.
