Abstract

As Big Data from Information and Communication Technology (ICT) devices grows rapidly, privacy leakage has become a major concern, especially in developing countries like Pakistan. This paper examines the challenges of Big Data privacy leakage through ICT devices and suggests community-based solutions to address these issues. It focuses on participatory governance, user education, local data protection programs, and ethical ICT design, highlighting strategies that empower communities to protect their data privacy. The study includes empirical data from surveys and case studies in both urban and rural areas of Pakistan. The paper concludes with recommendations for integrating community-driven strategies into national data protection policies.
