DATA PROTECTION LAWS IN PAKISTAN: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

As digitization continues to expand and evolve, data protection acquires fundamental meaning, in direct relation to privacy and security and individual rights, as the volume of data generated increases with the ever-growing technological progress. Against this backdrop, it has become indispensable to protect all data against the rise in computer threats. Effective data protection measures improve individual privacy so that users can control personal information and mitigate risks caused by data violations. Besides that, the strong data protection paintings support individual rights like transparency and responsibility on the part of the organizations managing personal data. Data protection in this fast- changing era of technology gives way to a safer digital environment that supports the fundamental principles of trust and respect for individual autonomy.
