A short word with the biggest impact of all is 'Privacy'. A state of being alone is defined as privacy. Privacy is how much another person knows about you. It gives the right to live life your way and on your rules. Privacy rights help us decide with whom we are willing to display ourselves. Until now, we also haven't had a complete legal definition of the right to privacy. With this research paper, we seek the appropriate definition of the right to privacy and learn its significance in a digital democratic society. Privacy is a right which is not new to us. It's a right that just evolves with time. In this research paper by adopting the doctrine research methodology we seek the evolution of the right to privacy with human beings and its significance. This research goes with case laws, research papers, and articles on this topic and makes a thematic analysis for the conclusion.
This right is not expressly manifested in Part 3 of the Constitution of India. This right gets its essence from Article 21 of the Constitution i.e. right to life. But still, this right plays a vital role in living life with dignity. This research work seeks the significance of privacy in the current digital era. Privacy means personality and it changes as per circumstances. The right to privacy is an essential right to secure the right to life.
