The right to digital privacy: Essence, scope, and constitutional guarantees: A comparative study between the Palestinian and Jordanian constitutions

This thesis addresses the constitutional regulation of digital privacy rights in Jordan and Palestine. In particular, the thesis discusses the evolution of digital privacy rights and their legal scope, while also examining their status in the Jordanian and Palestinian constitutions and whether the jurisdictions in these two countries offer constitutional guarantees in regard to privacy rights. In addition to an increased interest in digital privacy rights in today's world, the study is also important because it sheds light on a fairly recent phenomenon. Additionally, no explicit and direct juridical or constitutional articles exist to regulate the issue. Therefore, this paper reviews and analyzes the general constitutional rules governing the right to private life, while tailoring them to digital privacy rights given the similarities they both share. Chapter 1 provides a historical overview of the evolution of the concept of digital privacy rights, while chapter 2 reviews and compares the Palestinian and Jordanian constitutional rules governing digital privacy rights. Chapter 3 discusses the constitutional protections of digital privacy rights in Palestine and Jordan, while xiv examining the extent to which the laws relevant to digital privacy rights conform to Palestinian and Jordanian constitutional rules.
