Robots are increasingly used in more and more application areas, ranging from industry to everyday life. Independently of the deployment context, robots collect sensor data about the users, when interacting with them. The collected data can include users' location, appearance, and voice. Nevertheless, users interacting with them are not always well informed about which data are recorded. Providing such information is, however, necessary. Any recorded data must be presented to the users "using clear and plain language", according to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our goal is therefore to develop user interfaces, with which users will be efficiently informed about data recorded by the sensors embedded in the robot. In addition to increase the compliance with the GDPR requirements, these interfaces will empower users to make informed decisions when interacting with a robot.
