Data Privacy in Electronic Commerce: Analysing Legal Provisions in Iran

The internet's pervasive influence has transformed global financial transactions and reshaped market dynamics. The late 20th-century IT revolution in India gave rise to online-focused IT companies, dominating various aspects of life. The subsequent 4G internet revolution accelerated internet accessibility, fostering the establishment of new technologies and companies enhancing user experiences. E-commerce flourished, with cloud-based entities, reshaping consumer preferences towards online shopping. This paradigm shift comes with challenges. As online transactions surged, data became the cornerstone sought by companies for feedback and analysis. This led to a complex scenario with vast data storage across companies, posing security risks from potential hackers. In the past decade, hacking incidents exposed customer data, risking privacy and well-being. Despite enacted legislation, success, especially in India, remains elusive. This chapter analyzes the nexus between data privacy and E-commerce, conducting an in-depth global study on laws governing data commerce.

The protection of personal data faces challenges in a context of globalization and accelerated digitization, where the international exchange of information exposes privacy risks. This study conducts a literature review to analyze the evolution of data protection regulations, focusing on the impact of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in various regions. Methods include identifying GDPR-inspired regulations adapted in countries such as Brazil and Japan, and analyzing conflicts between privacy and national security, where some jurisdictions prioritize surveillance. The findings show that, although the GDPR establishes a robust regulatory framework, its implementation faces limitations due to cultural, economic and political differences. In countries with lower regulatory capacity, such as in Latin America and Africa, insufficient resources hinder effective oversight. The study concludes that global harmonization of data protection regulations is a pending challenge, and highlights the need for a collaborative approach and robust infrastructure to enable effective data protection that is adaptable to regional contexts.
