handle is hein.journals/injlolw10 and id is 3459 raw text is: Indian Journal of Law and Legal Research RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN THE DIGITAL ERA Stephen V Thomas & Manasi Ravindra, School of Law CHRIST (Deemed to be University) ABSTRACT In India, the need for a privacy bill has been widely recognized, and numerous experts and stakeholders have called for the enactment of a comprehensive privacy law that provides clear guidelines and protections for individuals' personal data. In addition, the need for a privacy bill has been widely recognized in the United States as well. The article argues that a comprehensive privacy law is vital for protecting the privacy rights of individuals and promoting trust in the digital economy. The paper emphasizes the requirement for privacy law in India and offers proposals based on the privacy laws of other countries, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act of Canada. The paper contains a number of recommendations that can operate as a guide for policymakers in India as they strive to write and enact a privacy law. These recommendations are based on the best practices that have been implemented elsewhere in the world. Page: 1 Volume V Issue I I ISSN: 2582-8878
