ABSTRACT
Privacy, deemed crucial for human survival, faces threats under the guise of legal procedures or public duties by officials. Imagine a world where individuals have no privacy rights, encompassing personal aspects like family, work, and relationships. Privacy, akin to oxygen for the body, ensures a peaceful life with dignity and liberty, as enshrined in Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. As society transitions into a digital era, characterized by increased social media and internet usage, data security[1] and protection become national imperatives. Data protection and privacy, intricately linked, form a critical and sensitive domain in contemporary legal discourse. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this research paper adopts an analogical research approach, utilizing secondary sources to compile precise information. Keywords: Privacy, Rights, Data, Digital Footprint, Cyber Era.
