Relevance. The growing integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into all areas of human life – from intelligent households to smart city infrastructure – is accompanied by an exponential increase in the volume of data being collected, transmitted, and processed in real time. When combined with artificial intelligence technologies, this data becomes the foundation for making autonomous decisions, predicting user behavior, and adapting environments to the needs of specific individuals. However, it is precisely in this context that the critically important issue of personal data protection arises. Many IoT devices operate in uncontrolled environments, have limited resources for cryptographic protection, and are vulnerable to cyberattacks and unauthorized data collection. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence algorithms used to analyze this data often exhibit the “black box” problem, where it is impossible to fully explain how and why a particular decision was made based on personalized data. The lack of transparency, combined with broad access to sensitive information, threatens fundamental human rights to privacy. The relevance of this topic is driven by the need to find balanced technical solutions that enable both effective analysis of large-scale data in IoT environments and a high level of data security. In this regard, the study of modern methods for processing, analyzing, and protecting data in IoT systems, adapted to the requirements of ethical artificial intelligence and digital privacy standards, represents one of the key challenges of contemporary digital science. The object of research: the processes of data collection, processing, analysis, and protection in IoT systems, particularly those components related to the use of users' personal information and its processing through artificial intelligence methods. Purpose of the article: research of modern methods for data processing and analysis in IoT systems. The objective of the work is to identify the most effective approaches to secure data handling, characterize existing privacy threats, and assess the potential for integrating protected analytical algorithms that meet both the technical and ethical requirements of the digital environment. Research results. A comprehensive analysis of modern approaches to data collection, processing, analysis, and protection in IoT systems has been conducted, particularly in the context of the growing role of artificial intelligence. The technological foundations of IoT functionality were examined, key architectural components identified, and their role in creating digital ecosystems for monitoring, management, and decision-making across various sectors – from household systems to critical infrastructure – was investigated. Special attention was paid to data preprocessing methods, which help reduce information load, improve the quality of analysis, and adapt data flows to the requirements of intelligent algorithms. It was demonstrated that the use of edge processing and local-level aggregation enhances both system performance and security. The main types of databases for IoT – especially those optimized for time series – were analyzed, along with tools for handling large volumes of data in cloud and hybrid environments. Conclusions. Data collection methods in IoT are multilayered and closely linked to the requirements for energy efficiency, security, latency, and system scalability. The quality and reliability of the collected information form the foundation for subsequent processing, analysis, and decision-making; therefore, the selection of sensors, communication protocols, and architectural models is of strategic importance for any IoT system. Preprocessing and efficient data storage in IoT are critical stages that ensure the quality, security, and usability of information for further analysis. They determine not only the accuracy of analytics but also the stability, scalability, and compliance with regulatory standards. This creates a demand for the development of adaptive, intelligent data processing and storage systems capable of dynamically responding to changes in device operation context and user requirements. The successful implementation of secure IoT solutions requires an integrated approach that combines technical expertise, legal knowledge, and ethical responsibility.
