Authors
Bilal Ahmad Ganai
Abstract

This paper deals with the origins of the data protection movement that took place with the onset of computers in the world, which led to the digitization of various types of data. It explores the historical trajectories of the data protection movement, which started in some of the advanced democracies of the world.

The purpose of this article is to showcase the development of this movement across countries and how the importance of data was ultimately recognized by the legal, political, and administrative establishments of various nations. It highlights specific developments that occurred in around four countries and some international organizations and how those developments ultimately shaped the legal and administrative responses in the form of fair information principles that later came to determine the data protection and security related measures across the world.
