Nowadays, with popularity of the Internet and various smart devices, all kinds of data have been generated and grown explosively that we are now into an era of big data. Modern intelligent technologies provide convenient means for data collection. When using the Internet or smart devices, the data generated through every move such as search, online shopping, browsing, featuring the personal preferences and needs of the user, may be recorded or be permanently stored in the cloud. These various types of data generated by individual behaviors, such as their ownership, right to inform, collect, preserve, use and privacy, might be easily misused. One of the ethical issues brought about by big data will be as the personal privacy. First of all, the data acquisition may be automatically collected that the collected objects are often unaware. Followed is by issue of choice. For example, some people have done something wrong. Big data will store it forever that they may never have the opportunity to resume their lives, as this permanent existing bad record. In addition, some results generated by big data may lead to certain unfairness, for example, the precision marketing for targeted customer may potentially ignore other non-targeted group. Then as for the issue of security, the leakage of data will cause injure for people, as many cases showed. Whether the age of big data needs to reconstruct its ethics to make it better protect personal privacy and security has been an increasingly hot issue facing today. How to cope with it requires each one of us to think about it carefully and work together. It not only relies solely on scientists, ethicists, or decision makers, but also closely cooperation with parties from multistake holders.
