    Abstract

    Data mining has been re-branded as ‘big data analytics’. The techniques involved harbour a substantial set of risks, many of which will be borne by individuals. This chapter argues that safeguards are needed, to protect individuals against the potentially harmful acts that organisations will take against them. Alternative forms of such ‘big data prophylactics’ are outlined.
