  1. For E-commerce Platforms (E-tailers):  Privacy-by-Design: Instead of burying data practices in legal jargon, platforms should use "Privacy Nutrition Labels"—simple, visual icons that explain what data is being harvested and why.  Ethical AI Incentives: Retailers should offer "Privacy-First" tiers where users can opt-out of deep tracking without losing access to basic personalisation features. www.ijamrsd.com | Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary Research | [268]

  Fifth, the transactional perspective adopted here may not extend to other digital contexts such as social media platforms, mobile applica- tions, location-based or AI-driven services, where privacy decision-making dynamics may differ, and future research could investigate whether the identified mechanisms remain sta- ble across these settings. Future research could investigate the nature and prevalence of such behaviors, including data minimization, selective disclosure, and intentional informa- tion falsification, to better understand how users navigate privacy trade-offs in e-commerce environments.
