作者：
Highlights：
• We explore factors that affect perceptions of privacy breach among mobile app users.
• We evaluate how the type of information and legal contracts affect perceptions of a privacy breach.
• We develop and operationalize a new construct: perceived privacy breach.
• We find that not all privacy breaches are alike.
• Legal contracts only partially reduce perceptions of a privacy breach.
