El derecho a la intimidad y el tratamiento de datos personales en los procesos judiciales

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to analyze, in detail, the norms and principles that underpin the right to privacy for all citizens in general, and then specifically address this right when acting as parties to proceedings or litigants in non-criminal judicial processes. It will analyze the norms and principles that govern the publicity and transparency of the administration of justice and the processing of judicial proceedings. These legal premises will be compared with the aim of elucidating the possible violation of the right to personal and family privacy in the processing of personal data in non-criminal judicial processes. It begins by establishing a descriptive framework focused on explaining the concepts, background, and nature of the right to privacy, and subsequently analyzes the transparency and publicity of the administration of justice within the Ecuadorian legal system. Finally, we will conduct a critical analysis of the exercise of the right to privacy in judicial proceedings and the actual handling of personal data in this context.
