Lexis Nexis’s Personal Data Protection Rights by Dr Ashit Kumar Srivastava & Dr Yogesh Pratap Singh – 1st Edition 2025.

Personal Data Protection Rights attempts to capture the true essence of our digital presence and the rights which have been globally recognized to protect it. Structured meticulously across 15 chapters, the book explores the rapidly evolving legal landscape surrounding personal data protection, constantly weighing the balance between technological innovation, economic growth, and fundamental individual rights.

Understanding Digital Dignity & Compliance

The treatise goes far beyond the mechanical reading of statutes. It introduces and thoroughly examines the concept of “digital dignity”—an idea that extends beyond mere privacy to include human autonomy, fairness, and respect in the digital ecosystem.

• Individual Rights: Deep-dives into specific actionable rights such as the right to be forgotten, the right to data portability, the right to access, and the right to explanation.

• Corporate Responsibilities: Comprehensively covers the legal obligations of entities—data fiduciaries and processors—that control and process this highly sensitive information.

• Special Considerations: Features dedicated chapters addressing compliance bodies and the nuanced legal considerations required when processing the data of children and persons with disabilities.

Global Perspectives

Operating in the digital sphere means operating across borders. The authors provide a comparative analysis of global data protection regimes, offering readers a broader perspective on shared regulatory principles and divergent approaches, specifically contrasting the European GDPR with India’s emerging framework.
