Abstract: Increased researcher attention is drawn to personal data privacy and security due to increased access and usage of electronic devices and the internet. Governments across the world are formulating laws and regulations to protect data privacy. Because of their personality traits, individuals play a vital role in protecting their data privacy. Much academic research went into understanding how individuals perceive and behave regarding various aspects of personal data. An examination is done using the literature review method to study recent research papers that connect to personality traits and data privacy. To understand the publication metrics on the topic, academic interest, publication trends, and keyword analysis were done. Key theories and research themes have been identified and discussed in the paper. Research papers for the literature review are taken from leading databases, and attention and importance are given to recent research papers. The theories and themes identified will help researchers and policymakers understand the theories and themes upon which most of the academic research is currently based. The direction for future research section draws attention to further research that can be done in the area.
