According to media and research, users have a high interest in protecting their personal data. Alt-hough privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) can help secure users’ privacy, only very few make use of PETs – even if some of these are gratis. Given the overall impact for individuals, good answers are needed, which we seek in both cognitive and person-ality factors. By drawing on protection motivation theory (PMT) and the five-factor model (FFM), we seek to explain individuals’ intention to use PETs. Our results support the suitability of the PMT in the PET context. In particular, perceived response effi-cacy has a strong effect on individuals’ intention to use PETs. Most personality factors have no or some-what unexpected influences, but due to the measure-ments’ brevity further research with extended per-sonality scales is needed to validate these results.
