The right to privacy today is one of the basic constitutional rights inherent to the natural person in his human capacity as a public asset, as it is the basis of the structure of every healthy society, and it is one of the rights prior to the existence of the state itself, so the private life of individuals has received great constitutional and legal protection in the countries of the whole world, and recent years have witnessed a legislative response at different levels for the reasons for this protection, and the judiciary has followed it with a remarkable response supported by jurisprudence because of the private life of individuals of paramount importance to the entity of the individual and society together. Personal or nominal data is a manifestation of the right to the sanctity of private life, as personal data contains the secrets of the person and reflects his personality, so compromising the confidentiality of these data is a violation of the sanctity of private life guaranteed by the Constitution, and this requires that dealing in these data and access to them is limited to their owners and contractors by virtue of the job and others may not see or deal in them. In light of the expansion of information systems and Internet networks, the importance of developing legislation and controls that ensure the protection of customer data is increasing.
