Abstract

With the increasing violation of the privacy and secrecy of personal data in the digital environment, the different international organizations have been engaged to propose and enact a set of measures aiming at reducing this phenomenon, what with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) recognized the necessity of strengthening the respect of privacy right, as a condition to ensure the free flow of personal data. The General Assembly of the United Nations issued a set of guiding principles to organize the personal data files in the decision 95-45, whereas the European Union issued a set of principles to organize the protection of natural persons from the processing of digital data. Many other countries worked on setting several legal texts to protect the data of personal nature; Algeria, like other countries, made sure to provide a legal framework that would protect natural persons’ data.
This study aims at identifying the ways and mechanisms of protecting the personal data in the Algerian legislation, through analyzing the most important points and contents introduced by the Law 18-07 of 10th June, 2018, on the protection on natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data.
