With constant threats to the safety of personal data in the United States, privacy literacy has become an increasingly important competency among university students, one that ties intimately to the information sharing behavior of these students. This survey based study examines how university students in the United States perceive personal data privacy and how their privacy literacy influences their understanding and behaviors. Students responses to a privacy literacy scale were categorized into high and low privacy literacy groups, revealing that high literacy individuals demonstrate a broader range of privacy practices, including multi factor authentication, VPN usage, and phishing awareness, whereas low literacy individuals rely on more basic security measures. Statistical analyses suggest that high literacy respondents display greater diversity in recommendations and engagement in privacy discussions. These findings suggest the need for enhanced educational initiatives to improve data privacy awareness at the university level to create a better cyber safe population.
