Abstract:	Personalized information systems are information-filtering systems that endeavor to tailor information-exchange functionality to the specific interests of their users. The ability of these systems to profile users is, on the one hand, what enables such intelligent functionality, but on the other, the source of innumerable privacy risks. In this paper, we justify and interpret KL divergence as a criterion for quantifying the privacy of user profiles. Our criterion, which emerged from previous work in the domain of information retrieval, is here thoroughly examined by adopting the beautiful perspective of the method of types and large deviation theory, and under the assumption of two distinct adversary models. In particular, we first elaborate on the intimate connection between Jaynes' celebrated method of entropy maximization and the use of entropies and divergences as measures of privacy; and secondly, we interpret our privacy metric as false positives and negatives in a binary hypothesis testing.
