Abstract

Internet je olakšao svakodnevicu svojih korisnika omogućivši nadilaženje prostornovremenskih barijera. Također je ponudio nove načine komunikacije, rada, zabave, informiranja
i edukacije, no te pogodnosti često idu ruku pod ruku s ugrozama za osobne podatke korisnika.
Sukladno razvoju interneta razvijena je i upravljačka struktura naziva internet governance koja
se bavi razvojem i primjenom načela, normi, pravila, postupaka donošenja odluka i programa
koji oblikuju evoluciju i upotrebu interneta, a čine ju nacionalne vlade, privatni sektor i civilno
društvo. Upravo je ta struktura zaslužna za današnji izgled i način funckioniranja interneta.
Danas se većina internetskih stranica oslanja na metode prikupljanja podataka kako bi sakupili
velike količine podataka o svojim korisnicima i time stvorili korisničke profile od kojih imaju
profitabilne koristi. Neke najčešće metode prikupljanja podataka su: „kolačići“, otisci prstiju
na pretraživaču i internetskim stranica, web beacon itd. Međutim, neželjeno prikupljanje
podataka može se spriječiti korištenjem metoda zaštite podataka. Neke metode zaštite podataka
na internetu su: korištenje firewall-a, korištenje antivirusnih aplikacija, uključivanje „Do-NotTrack“ sigurnosne funkcije pretraživača, korištenje VPN mreža, brisanje „kolačića“ itd.
Također, postoje i razni pravni akti koji štite pojedinčevo pravo na zaštitu privatnosti među
kojima se najviše ističe Opća uredba o zaštiti podataka kao najvažnija pravna regulativa kojom
se regulira zaštita podataka unutar Europske unije.
Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se pitanjima privatnosti i zaštite osobnih podataka na internetu,
a za njegove potrebe provedeno je i istraživanje putem mrežne ankete o stavovima, znanjima i
zabrinutosti studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu o sigurnosti osobnih podataka na internetu.
Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od dvjesto studenata koji studiraju na deset najvećih
sastavnica Sveučilišta u Zagrebu po broju studenata. Istraživanjem je otkriveno da se znanja,
stavovi i zabrinutosti razlikuju među studentima s obzirom na fakultet koji pohađaju, razinu
studija na kojoj se nalaze, prosječnu ocjenu i dnevno korištenje interneta.

Abstract (english)

Internet has made everyday life easier for its users by enabling them to overcome space-time
barriers. It has also offered them new ways to communicate, work, entertain, inform and
educate, but these benefits often go hand in hand with threats to users’ personal data. With the
development of the Internet, a structure called Internet governance has been developed that
develops and implements principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures and programs
that shape the evolution and use of the Internet. It consists of national governments, the private
sector and civil society. It is this structure that is responsible for today's appearance of the
Internet and the way the Internet functions. Today, most websites rely on data collection
methods to collect large amounts of data about their users and thus create user profiles from
which they benefit profitably. Some common data collection methods are: „cookies“, browser
and website fingerprinting, web beacons etc. However, unwanted data collection can be
prevented by using data protection methods. Some common data protection methods on the
Internet are: use of firewalls, use of antivirus applications, activation of "Do Not Track"
security features of browsers, use of VPN networks, deletion of "cookies" etc. Also, there are
various legal acts that protect the individual's right to privacy on the Internet among which the
General Data Protection Regulation stands out as the most important legal act regulating data
protection within the European Union.
This thesis deals with issues of privacy and protection of personal data on the Internet,
and for its needs, an online survey was conducted to discover attitudes, knowledge and
concerns of students at the University of Zagreb about the security of personal data on the
Internet. The research was conducted on a sample of two hundred students studying at the ten
largest constituents of the University of Zagreb. The research found that knowledge, attitudes
and concerns differ among students with regard to the faculty they attend, their graduate level,
their average grade and daily internet use.
