Privacy is a fundamental aspect of human life that has become even more critical with the rise of digital data and online information sharing. In the digital age, the right to privacy is a complex issue involving legal, technological, and societal challenges. It includes protecting personal data, preventing unjustified publicity, and ensuring that a person's identity is not misused without consent. In India, the right to privacy, recognized as part of Article 21 of the Constitution, has been reinforced by the Supreme Court in the case of K. S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India, which declared it a fundamental human right. The book "Data Protection and Data Privacy" addresses various topics, such as data breaches, privacy concerns, state surveillance, and the evolution of privacy laws in India, providing valuable insights for students, researchers, and legal professionals.
