520 _an the rapidly evolving landscape of digitization, data protection has emerged as a critical concern. This research explores the complex realm of ‘Data Protection in the Era of Digitisation with Special Reference to Data Privacy and Data Localization,’ shedding light on its multifaceted dimensions and significant implications. The main objective is to provide a comprehensive overview of the research topic, laying a solid groundwork for further exploration. To begin, it is essential to define the key terms to this research. ‘Data protection’ refers to measures and practices aimed at safeguarding sensitive and personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Within this study, ‘data privacy’ pertains to an individual's right to control and manage their personal data, ensuring it is handled in a manner that respects their autonomy and confidentiality. Additionally, ‘data localization’ involves regulatory or policy requirements mandating data to be stored within a specific geographical boundary. The significance of data protection in the digital age cannot be understated. As digitization continues to advance, an unprecedented volume of data is being generated and processed. From various online activities, such as e-commerce transactions and social media interactions, to critical records like healthcare and financial details, vast sources of personal information are being collected. Consequently, the protection of this data from potential threats becomes of utmost importance. Data breaches or violations of privacy can lead to severe consequences, ranging from identity theft and financial fraud to broader societal implications, such as the manipulation of public opinion and eroding trust in digital platforms. In this technologically advanced world, the increasing challenges and risks associated with data breaches and privacy violations have become pressing concerns. Malicious actors continuously adapt their techniques, exploiting vulnerabilities in digital systems to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. Moreover, the global nature of data flows and the borderless nature of the internet present jurisdictional complexities, making it challenging to enforce data protection v laws across international boundaries. Consequently, organizations, governments, and individuals face significant challenges in safeguarding data and upholding privacy rights. The digital revolution has brought forth extensive opportunities for progress and connectivity. However, it has also exposed vulnerabilities that demand a comprehensive understanding of data protection. This research endeavours to contribute to the ongoing discourse on data privacy and data localization, emphasizing the significance of safeguarding sensitive information and exploring potential avenues for enhancing data protection in this era defined by digitization. By delving into the intricacies of this subject, the study aims to fortify the foundations of a secure and privacy-conscious digital world within the relevant context.
