Abstract

In the digital era, safeguarding privacy has become a critical concern for individuals, societies, and nations worldwide. This abstract focuses on examining Indian perspectives and global practices in the context of privacy protection. With the proliferation of digital technologies and the extensive collection, storage, and analysis of personal data, there is an urgent need to strike a balance between technological advancements and the right to privacy. This study delves into the Indian perspective on privacy, considering the constitutional framework and legal provisions in place. It explores landmark judgments such as the Right to Privacy as a fundamental right, the Aadhaar verdict, and the implications of data localization policies. By analyzing these perspectives, the study aims to shed light on the evolving landscape of privacy rights in India. Additionally, this abstract explores global practices and legal frameworks for privacy protection. It examines key international instruments such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, and other pertinent global initiatives. By comparing these practices with the Indian context, the study aims to identify potential areas of convergence and divergence. The research methodology employed in this study involves a comprehensive literature review of academic articles, reports, and legal documents. It also includes an analysis of relevant case studies and empirical data to provide a holistic understanding of the subject matter. The findings of this study reveal the complexities and challenges associated with safeguarding privacy in the digital era. It highlights the need for robust legislation, effective enforcement mechanisms, and public awareness campaigns to protect individuals' privacy rights. The study also identifies the role of technology companies, policymakers, and civil society in promoting privacy-centric practices and fostering a culture of privacy.
