Abstract

This study investigates the complex legal landscape surrounding digital privacy and data protection in the era of rapid technological advancement and widespread data sharing. We analyze the evolution of privacy laws and regulations across different jurisdictions, focusing on key principles such as consent, transparency, and accountability. Additionally, we examine the challenges posed by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, biometrics, and the Internet of Things, and their implications for personal privacy and data security. Our research explores potential strategies for balancing individual rights to privacy with the need for innovation and economic growth, including regulatory frameworks, self-regulatory
mechanisms, and international cooperation agreements. By addressing these issues, we aim to contribute to the development of robust and adaptive legal frameworks that protect individuals' privacy rights while fostering responsible data use and innovation in the digital age.
