Termos de uso e políticas de privacidade das redes sociais on-line

Abstract

Objective: Inserted in the contemporary debate on personal data privacy and information policies, this article aims to discuss how Brazilian scientific publications have addressed the terms of use and privacy policies of online social networks. Additionally, it aims to identify which aspects have been addressed in the academic literature, in relation to these terms of use and respective privacy policies. Methodology: An exploratory, analytical-descriptive study was carried out, with a systematic review of the literature of articles published in Brazilian journals and conference proceedings available on the Capes Portal. Articles were selected that adopt the terms of use and privacy policies of online social networks as the object of study. Results: From this corpus, it was found that the topic of personal data privacy on online social networks has been approached under several aspects, and especially in relation to the treatment of the digital legacy. Conclusions: This theme has achieved increasing prominence and has been shown to be recurrent, relevant and current, probably due to the large volume of data captured and stored by the application providers.
