Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the basic principles of the issue of big data as the technological background to the emergence of digital footprints, and the data mining process as a methodological social behaviour research tool, which due to its complexity requires a multidisciplinary approach involving social sciences, humanities and technology. The paper also describes the security risks connected with accessibility to digital footprints, and puts them in the context of personal data protection and the GDPR regulation. The final objective is an introduction to the issue of digital heritage and a cultural and personal approach.
