Rights and guarantees in the digital age

Abstract

This work aims to analyze individual rights and guarantees in the digital age. It is notorious to mention that with the advancement of technology and the internet, as well as all media have gained great importance as a great development over the years until finally reaching the present day, becoming a strong means of information for people, regardless where they are in the world. However, this technological advance ends up allowing some people to obtain private data from others. A question arises on this issue, because on the one hand there is the right to be informed and on the other the right to privacy as well as the intimacy of the human person. Therefore, it will be analyzed in this study, even when this invasion in the private sphere of each citizen is allowed or not, because it is the individual privacy of each citizen. It is a relevant and current topic as the advance of technology is notorious, so increasingly the means of communication between people tend to favor the exchange of data, even personal ones. The development of technology, forms of data sharing and the dissatisfaction of some people when faced with their data exposed on the internet stand out as relevant points addressed. For that, they were used as research method, bibliographic, documentary and jurisprudential research. The contribution of this study is to analyze how the privacy and intimacy of public servants is handled by the courts.
