The thesis addressed the challenges posed by rapid technological development, which has made personal data vulnerable to misuse and violations, necessitating the search for effective legal protection. The study highlighted:

* The evolution of the concept of privacy to include digital data stored and processed through modern systems.

* The risks associated with digital processing and forms of violations such as manipulation, disclosure, or unauthorized access.

* Highlighting the legislative gap between advanced laws (such as the European Regulation) and national legislation that needs development, including that of Iraq.

* The impact of complex technologies such as artificial intelligence on individual privacy.
