Ethics of Big Data by Kord Davis is quite philosophical book about the ethical issues of collection and exploitation of the BigData. I would say it's more oriented to the CTOs and general management audience then to the developers. It contains an interesting analysis of the Fortune 50 privacy policies and also suggests a comprehensive framework for facilitating ethical discussions in the business environment.

Privacy and Big Data by Terence Craig and Mary E. Ludloff is a great book that addresses the today's issues on privacy in the world of the "big data". The authors are discussing two major points of view on the privacy: the U.S. view of privacy as a commodity, and EU's view of privacy as an essential human right. Terence Craig and Mary E. Ludloff are trying to explain that your digital footprint is not only about your online activity and advertisement, but it also about the video surveillance, laws that are allowing government agencies to intrude into your private life in the name of security and many more. I recommend this book to whom is concerned about their privacy, it won't say you what to do but at least it will increase the level of your awareness.
