La violación al derecho a la intimidad en espacios públicos.

Abstract

In this present degree work, reference will be made to the violation of the right to privacy in public spaces. These behaviors are already considered to be anti-legal behavior in the laws of other countries, and that is why the importance of there being a criminalization or analysis of the law, to observe the extent to which the processing of personal data and a person’s right to privacy is regarded as a breach of privacy by the State, as well as by private companies with surveillance cameras, And even today we could talk about access to facial recognition and fingerprints as a way to break man’s privacy. In Ecuador, the Constitution of the Republic recognizes and guarantees a number of fundamental rights, including the right to privacy and the protection of the image. However, despite the fact that the Constitution protects the aforementioned rights, we can observe on a daily basis how these constitutional rights of Ecuadorians are violated, because there is no correct application of information in the regulations regarding the use of video surveillance cameras to access a person’s personal data in public space. While it is true that it can be argued that being a public space, we could expect that people do not have the right to demand privacy, but this is not entirely true, since within this thesis the aim is to study the extent to which both public and private entities, have the right to use these new technological tools to access private information of individuals and that both the public and private spheres are linked.
