Nowadays, privacy emerges as one of the most desired human rights. It is crucial for the fullest development of the physical and mental growth of human beings. Due to constant progress and subsequent usage and dependence on Information and Communications Technology in the digital age, personal data emerges as the new fuel to the Internet and coin to the digital world. While the digital environment makes life easier, faster and smarter, it eventually, poses tremendous challenges to information privacy as diverse actors always monitor, or track our online activities, or behaviour mostly without our knowledge. Thus, the debate encompassing information privacy appears as one of the hot-button issues in contemporary global politics, policies and business. In response, numerous policy measures have been adopted globally, but Bangladesh is lagging. This context requires a study to learn–whether the existing legal regime of Bangladesh adequately protects citizens’ rights to privacy. Such kind of research work is lacking, and hence, this study aims to fill that gap. The findings of this research will enlighten all stakeholders to understand the existing legal framework for privacy in Bangladesh. It will further facilitate them to map and design their future policies and strategies encompassing privacy. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
