ABSTRACT
Accelerated digital globalization has made cross-border information sharing easier than ever, while also exposing long-standing gaps and inconsistencies in how various countries govern data privacy. Even though many regions have established their own privacy frameworks, such as the GDPR, Convention 108+, and several emerging national regulations, differences in scope, enforcement, and cooperation continue to hinder global progress toward justice and accountability for individuals whose data is processed. This paper is timely as it examines whether international privacy frameworks are strong enough to ensure fair protection, transparency, and accountability within the global digital economy. It also explores how disparities in legal, cultural, and political contexts, along with the rise of technologies like artificial intelligence and big data, impact global efforts to achieve justice in data management. The paper will be structured as a comparative doctrinal study, and will address the main regulatory instruments and relevant court decisions in order to analyse whether they ensure a substantive and procedural fairness, across the board. It will then attempt to summarise the existing approaches, highlight issues in their application and offer potential solutions in order to set a more equal level of protection of privacy globally. It will ultimately conclude that while privacy is more protected than ever, there are still issues of divergent enforcement and fragmentation, which hinder data development.
