What is Right of Privacy?

The right of privacy is a fundamental human right recognised in international law, national constitutions, and data protection regulations worldwide. 

Legal Foundations of the Right of Privacy

Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights protects individuals from arbitrary interference with their privacy. In the European Union, Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights specifically enshrines the protection of personal data. In the digital context, the right of privacy means individuals have the authority to control how their personal information is collected, used, stored, and shared by organisations. This right forms the philosophical foundation of regulations like the GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy Directive.

Privacy Rights in the Digital Age

Online, the right of privacy translates into specific protections: the right to informed consent before data collection, the right to access personal data held by organisations, the right to have personal data deleted, and the right to opt out of tracking and profiling. 

 

Websites that deploy cookies, analytics scripts, and advertising pixels must respect these rights by providing clear notice, obtaining valid consent, and offering easy mechanisms for users to exercise their privacy preferences.
