| Abstract [eng] |
The master‘s thesis examines the application of the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation to Big Data. The first part of the thesis includes the concept of big data and big data analytics. The first part also reveals the interaction between big data and data protection. Moreover, this paper includes analysis of international, European Union, and Lithuanian sources of privacy and data protection law governing the regulation of big data and big data analytics. The second part of the master‘s thesis focuses on applying the Regulation's general provisions, including the objectives and subject matter of the Regulation, the territorial scope, the essence of special categories data, and the concept of the data controller and data processor. The third part of the thesis indicates that big data technologies' practice requires compliance with the principles of GDPR. Attention is paid to the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, and the principles of data purpose limitation, data minimisation, and accuracy. The fourth section focuses on the most analyzed and problematic data subjects' rights, including access to the personal data, the right to data portability, the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"), and automated decision-making, including profiling. The fourth section also discusses data protection impact assessment as an often required privacy risk mitigation tool for large data technologies. |
