Right to privacy and data protection under Indian legal regime
Authors

Abstract
Around the world, the right to privacy has become widely acknowledged as a fundamental human right. In India Article 21 of the Indian Constitution recognizes privacy as a Fundamental Right. The security of data has become particularly challenging to achieve. Further, the lack of legal protection for this Right has made it easy for the ruling majority to violate private rights through discriminatory legislation. This Right was not initially acknowledged in India as a Fundamental Right, nor was any special data protection legislation passed to protect citizens' Rights to Privacy. At the same time, there were several claims that the Indian government and private commercial entities occasionally violated citizens' rights to privacy. Such claims were also brought before the courts of law, where the judges rendered important judgments that included rules and norms. In order to comprehend the level of security provided to Indian individuals regarding their right to privacy by the legal system, it is crucial to study all of these legislative changes connected to the right to privacy and data protection. However, it has been determined that the Indian Legal System has adequately recognized the Right to Privacy and significant steps have been taken to prevent data theft and the improper use of sensitive information.
