Este artículo reflexiona sobre la creación de la Unidad Presidencial de Análisis de Datos (UPAD) en Costa Rica y su impacto en la privacidad y autonomía de los ciudadanos. Con este propósito se emplea la metodología de estudio de caso, la cual consiste en un análisis contextualizado del entorno político, social y tecnológico en Costa Rica, lo que ayuda a comprender las razones que llevaron a la creación de la UPAD, así como los factores que contribuyeron a los problemas de privacidad. Igualmente, se exploran los desafíos éticos y tecnológicos que plantea el uso masivo de datos en la Administración Pública, como la privacidad, la seguridad y la equidad, así como la importancia de elegir la tecnología adecuada para garantizar una gestión ética de los datos. El artículo concluye con una serie de propuestas que incluyen la promoción de la transparencia, la inclusión de mecanismos de consulta, la retroalimentación ciudadana y la formación de equipos interdisciplinarios con tal de prevenir errores y mejorar el potencial de la tecnología de análisis de datos en la Administración Pública.
