Abstract
As the big data era has emerged, personal data has become not only the most valuable in their volume, velocity, and variety but also the most sensitive in privacy problems. So far, Korean government has only pursued the protection value, not the utilization value of personal data. But U.K. government has implemented the personal data utilization policy based on the balance between the protection value and the utilization value of their data. In this research, we compare the personal data utilization policy of Korea with that of U.K. and suggest the policy implication to develop the personal data utilization policy of Korean government. U.K. government defined personal data comprehensively including unfixed social media data and they have been focusing on making people use their own personal data, which are owned and offered by private companies. To do this, U.K. government adopted the non-regulative and governance-type approach based on agreement among the government, companies and citizen groups. We recommend that Korean government should also establish and implement the non-regulative and governance-type personal data utilization policy based on the balanced perspective between protection and utilization of personal data.
