Description
In the age of digital transformation, personal data has emerged as one of the most valuable and vulnerable assets. With every click, transaction, and online interaction, individuals generate data that is constantly being collected, processed, and analyzed. While this has facilitated the growth of businesses, improved services, and brought countless conveniences to our daily lives, it has also introduced new and complex challenges. Protecting personal data is now a pressing concern, with governments, organizations, and individuals alike grappling with the ethical, legal, and technological dimensions of privacy and data security.
This book, Personal Data Protection Rights, is an effort to comprehensively address the evolving landscape of personal data protection. It delves into the legal rights individuals have over their personal data and the responsibilities of those who control and process this data. It also examines the broader concept of digital dignity-a concept that extends beyond privacy to encompass the right to autonomy, fairness, and respect in the digital sphere. The book is structured across 15 chapters, each of which addresses a specific aspect of personal data protection.
Chapter 1 entitled Digital Dignity & Personal Data introduces the foundational idea that personal data is integral to an individual's dignity and autonomy, emphasizing the need for its careful and ethical treatment. Chapter 2 entitled Definition Clause provides clarity on the key terminologies used in personal data protection laws, ensuring that readers understand the legal vocabulary that underpins the subject. Chapter 3 deals with Data Fiduciary/Data Controller and explains the roles and responsibilities of entities that collect and process personal data, highlighting the legal obligations imposed on them to protect individuals' rights. Chapter 4 of the book titled Right to be Forgotten/Erasure discusses the evolving legal right to have personal data erased when it is no longer relevant or necessary, and the balance this right strikes with freedom of expression and the public interest. Chapter 5 entitled Right to Data Portability explores the individual's right to transfer their personal data between service providers, ensuring greater control and choice in the digital economy. Chapter 6 entitled Right to Access elaborates on the individual's right to access the personal data collected about them, a fundamental aspect of transparency and accountability in data processing. Chapter 7 explains Right to Correction focussing on the right to have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected, ensuring the integrity and reliability of data processing.
Chapter 8 of the book titled Compliance Body Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act examines the regulatory framework and enforcement mechanisms designed to ensure compliance with personal data protection laws, with a specific focus on the Indian context while Chapter 9 dealing in Comparative Analysis of The Personal Data Protection offers a global perspective, comparing personal data protection laws from different jurisdictions, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, the United States, and India's own evolving framework.
