ABSTRACT

India is a country with a rich constitutional history that strongly protects individual rights, including the right to privacy. With age, this right is often under threat due to data breaches, surveillance, and other forms of invasion. The intersection of individual rights needs to be investigated further to ensure that the privacy of individuals is safeguarded, and so are their rights. Issues such as data breaches and surveillance have raised important questions about the right to privacy in the digital age. It is crucial to the implications of these issues to ensure that their rights are protected and that their personal information remains secure. Privacy in India has been a topic of much debate and discussion, particularly in the context of technologies and the collection of personal data. The government has recognized the importance of protecting privacy and has enacted legislation, such as the Data Protection Bill, to regulate the collection, use, and of personal data. The complex relationship between data privacy and constitutionally protected individual rights is essential in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. The right to privacy is a fundamental human right recognized by the Declaration of Human Rights and the Constitution of India. It is right to keep certain personal information and relationships private and free from intrusion. This paper deals with the background of evolution of right to privacy as a fundamental right , the significance of data protection bill and its relationship with right to privacy considering the future challenges after the implementation of the bill.
