The explosion of data mining and big data is leading to an interest in the legality of automated data collection.

Data may be collected voluntarily, through forms filled out by users, or by obtaining the right to use databases. They can also be collected by means of robots - so-called web crawlers - who scour the web in search of data in order to index them and allow them to be consulted later by third parties.

Who owns the data collected? Is it possible to collect data without authorization?

This is a legal risk to be analyzed for any company carrying out this type of collection.
