The phenomenon of big data includes technological (new opportunities), business (application), and social aspect. The social aspect applies to the social consequences of the use of big data methods, in particular, those related to the processing of personal and other private data , as well as the danger of privacy violation. In the context of the big data phenomenon, this study presents the results of a survey on the level of acceptance of privacy violation resulting from mass data processing. The different objectives of processing were taken into account, including general, social and commercial. This study helps to draw conclusions concerning commercial and non-commercial use of private data, as well as the legal regulations on personal data processing.

Specific Impact

Big data is the buzz-word of today, and yet their specific impact on individuals and societies remains assumed rather than fully understood. Clearly, big data and their use have already given rise to a number of questions, including those of how data can be collected and used in ethical and socially sensitive ways. Building on these points, the objective of this study was to explore how precisely big data and big data based services influence individuals and societies. This paper elaborates on individuals’ perceptions of data, especially on how they perceive the actual sharing of their data. In this way, this paper defines a value space for the social impact of big data relevant to three factors, namely the intention to share personal data, individual’s concerns, and social impact of big data.The main contribution of this study consists of the insights into the still nascent area of research that unfolds at the cross-section of social science and computer science. We expect that in the next years this area of research will gain prominence.
