| Sumario: | This article reflects on the creation of the Presidential Data Analysis Unit (UPAD) in Costa Rica and its impact on the privacy and autonomy of citizens. For this purpose, the case study methodology is used, which consists of a contextualized analysis of the political, social and technological environment in Costa Rica, which helps to understand the reasons that led to the creation of UPAD, as well as the factors that contributed to the privacy issues. Likewise, the ethical and technological challenges posed by the massive use of data in the Public Administration are explored, such as privacy, security and equity, as well as the importance of choosing the appropriate technology to guarantee ethical data management. The article concludes with a series of proposals that include the promotion of transparency, the inclusion of consultation mechanisms, citizen feedback and the formation of interdisciplinary teams in order to prevent errors and improve the potential of data analysis technology in the public administration. |
