Course Description
Personal data has become an economic value and an important asset for any economic facility, and data has become increasingly available locally and globally. With the penetration of information technology into all aspects of life, countries have taken an interest in regulating the legal protection of personal data, whether the process of collecting, storing, analyzing, circulating, or retrieving it, as long as it is in electronic or digital form, and issuing legislation for it.
This international trend appeared successively in Germany 1970, France 1978, England 1984, the European Personal Data Protection Directive 1995, the Privacy Safe Harbor Agreement 2000-2015, and the European Personal Data Protection Regulation No. 679/of 2016 (GDPR).
This is what Egypt also did in fulfillment of its constitutional obligations stipulated in Articles 28, 31, and 57 of the Egyptian Constitution, which was the issuance of the Anti-Information Technology Crimes Law No. 175 of 2018, followed by the Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020.
Therefore, in this training course, we will shed light on the legal protection provided by the legislation of different countries for the data of their citizens and the extent to which they regulate the processes of all, processing and circulation of data, as it falls within the right to privacy or (sanctity of private life), which is considered one of the rights most closely linked to the legal personality of a person.
