Abstract: Abstract The chapter investigates ethical and privacy concerns resulting from digitalization and datafication in the Global South, drawing from a systematic literature review. It emphasizes the risks of exploitation and privacy violations due to inadequate data protection laws in these regions, advocating for collaborative efforts and ethical guidelines to tackle these challenges. The insights provided are essential for policymakers and practitioners in addressing ethical and privacy issues in Global South countries.
