| Abstract | Privacy, security, and trust are the three terms interlinked with each other in a similar way as law and ethics are related to each other. The term data privacy represents how the data should be collected, used, and accessed by considering legal rights ( Lee et al., 2016 ; Salau et al., 2021 ). On the other side, ethics denotes responsibilities that sometimes become an obligation to pursue ( Knoppers & Thorogood, 2017 ). At present, in this technology-driven era, Internet-based research is vital, and most researchers follow this method widely to fulfill the purpose of data collection and analysis. The umbrella of Internet-based research covers video conferencing for interviews, online surveys, analysis of “e-conversations,” web page content analysis, discussion blogs, chat rooms, and email, etc. ( Cox, 2012 ). With the passage of time, many social and technological changes can be noticed, and these changes are altering the scale and scope of the data for researchers (Fiesler). In addition to the many advantages of the latest technology, some drawbacks also exist. Data sharing and data storage provide different kinds of benefits to researchers, but it creates many hurdles also from the security perspective of data, and in this present scenario, traditional privacy mechanism and security system are not adequately sufficient to cope with data explosion. As a result, researchers have to face different kinds of data issues during their original work, such as the modification of secondary data, storing of data, sharing of data, etc., and, in these situations, ethical decision-making occurs ( Boyd et al., 2016 ). Due to the advanced technology, the chances of misuse of data are increasing day by day, due to this which it becomes tough to follow ethics ( Hand, 2018 ). Researchers must face various types of data privacy challenges during their work, such as securing the computations under distributed programming frameworks, securing data storage and the transactional logs, data provenance, end-point filtration and validation, and real-time security monitoring ( Victor & Lopez, 2018 ), etc. So, the government and other private institutions should focus on developing different kinds of new software under the latest technology, which can protect data by maintaining its privacy and avoiding misuse, modification, and wrong interpretation, etc. |
