Keywords:
Privacy, Fundamental Right, Digital age, Digital protection, Right to Life, Personal libertyAbstract
The need and relevance of privacy or private life always remain questionable for almost every individual in society. As technology advances, the importance of this right has become more uncertain. This article aims to evaluate whether existing legal systems provide adequate and effective safeguards. For many years, human rights have assisted humans in providing and strengthening the fundamental rights provided for their survival. There is no doubt that many efforts and activities are already being made to deal with the threat posed by cyberspace, however, these activities are not enough to deal with the threat. Although it is rapidly growing, its scope remains restricted and largely confined to regional and local levels. Therefore, it is necessary to consider how important it has now become to create laws that not only protect physical security but also provide protection from cyberspace. This will contribute to ensuring accountability, trust, and security in the global market, which are crucial for the progress
of modern society. This paper aims to examine the mechanisms that require further exploration and adjustment to safeguard data in the present age.
