Currently, the access and use of data rank high in any human activity. People, organizations, and countries pay attention no only to their use, but also to the need of studying how they are obtained, shared, protected, both at the personal and institutional level as social communication is magnified and occupies a higher place in the human behavior, not only face-to-face but also in social networks. This article summarizes a research accomplished in the academic environment of a Mexican university aiming to reflect the behavior of a sample of over 300 students relating to the access to information and data management, highlighting the most significant concerns they have on these topics. An analysis of the results of the survey and research technique used is presented. The main result obtained was that the students granted great importance to have rights on the personal data and, specially, to be able to oppose or annul that these can be obtained or used. On the other hand, they are not very cautious with the privacy of the data as most of them share personal information with friends and acquaintances. This means that this type of behavior towards data management is little congruent
