Publisher's Synopsis
Big Data is a phenomenon with growing repercussions in the world of law and, in particular, in the regulation of Data Protection. Organisations must become aware not only of the legal obligations currently in force, but also of the myriad of duties that will be progressively consolidated in our legislation. This implies accepting the paradigm shift implied by regulatory self-regulation and the implementation of a series of active responsibility measures that safeguard the fundamental rights of the individuals concerned and avoid the risks to which mass data processing in the cybernetic environment exposes them. Thus, this paper aims to offer a clear vision of this new reality, focusing the issue on Big Data technologies, and highlighting the challenges that remain in relation to existing needs and other legal systems in our environment.
