The main objective of the article is to conceptualise and operationalise a variable relating to a set of actions in all fields of human activity that reduce the risk of unauthorised use of personal data. In contrast to the approach focusing exclusively on technical ways of securing data, the proposed construct refers to a general reasonable caution in the disposal of one’s own personal data excluding technical aspects. Commitment to protecting one’s own personal data was operationalised using the author’s validated index. The high reliability coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.85) predisposes the developed tool for use in research on personal data security. In addition, a factor analysis was carried out in the article, allowing a rejection of the hypothesis that the variable in question has at least two independent dimensions, each of which includes activities carried out in the real or virtual world.
