Personal Information Management (PIM) is integral to our daily lives, encompassing the collection, retrieval, consumption, and management of personal data such as e-mails, messages, files, photos, music, social media and web information. PIM is enacted for work, study, and entertainment purposes. While some PIM technologies like files and folders have been around for decades, others like cloud storage, music recommendations, and photo search are more recent. These technological shifts bring new challenges to PIM, which this special issue aims to address. The proliferation of mobile phones and social media has increased the taking and sharing of photos, while AI technologies are transforming our music and video consumption habits. Additionally, regulations like General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) impose legal requirements on technology providers, while users are becoming increasingly concerned about the privacy of their personal information. This special issue seeks both to enhance our understanding of PIM behaviors with mature technologies and also to identify emerging research topics related to new technologies and regulations.
