In the age of technology and big data, learning analytics (LA) research aims to enhance educational practices by collecting and analyzing data about learners and their contexts. This includes traditional Learning Management Systems (LMS) data and innovative sources like learners' behavior and biometric information collected through sensor devices and mobile terminals. Ethical considerations are crucial, requiring researchers to obtain learners' consent and process data anonymously or using pseudonyms. However, university students may feel coerced to consent due to their vulnerable relationships with teachers, universities, and researchers. Our research, which involved an online survey, aimed to delve into university students' attitudes toward data privacy and copyright awareness. The survey covered students' knowledge about copyright, social media habits, understanding of terms of service, and attitudes toward their university's privacy and data usage policies. To ensure a comprehensive understanding of students' digital rights and privacy knowledge and attitudes, we compared the results with preceding studies. Our analysis of the survey results has identified vital findings. These findings provide valuable insights into university students' current attitudes toward data privacy and their understanding of copyright issues. Furthermore, this presentation offers a comparative perspective on data privacy awareness among university students in Japan, drawing from a similar survey conducted by Educause in the United States.
