Abstract

In the digital era, the intersection of technology and human rights has become increasingly complex, necessitating a thorough examination of data protection and digital users' rights. This chapter comprehensively analyses fundamental human rights related to digital technologies, focusing on privacy, equality, the right to information and freedom to conduct a business. A critical overview of the EU legal framework governing data protection and digital user rights is presented, elucidating the evolving landscape of regulations to safeguard individuals in the digital domain. Through detailed case studies, the chapter illustrates exemplary practices that have posed significant challenges from a human rights perspective. By integrating legal analysis and practical examples, this chapter aims to provide readers with a nuanced understanding of the dynamic interplay between data protection, digital users' rights, and human rights in the contemporary digital landscape.
