RIGHT TO PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION IN INDIA
Downloads
Abstract
The desire for a private area in life is deeply rooted, and derives its jurisdiction from three sources. The first is the notion of personal autonomy, which is a powerful element in the ideology of freedom. Although not strictly necessary to freedom of choice, privacy, in the sense of a protected field of decision making within which an individual or a group of individuals is free from the meddling of outsiders, helps to produce the conditions in which freedom of choice can be exercise without interference. This is linked to the desire for defensible space, a physical area marked off in some way from other areas, to which a person, family, or group may withdraw and wherein they may protect themselves against all comers, unless entry is clearly justified by some supervening public interest. Civilization has evolved with accepted division between private and public life of human being where one’s privacy is “the condition under which there is control over acquaintance with one’s personal affairs by the one enjoying it”2 or “the individual’s ability to control the circulation of information relating to him.”3
