Abstract

Abstract: This thesis analyzes Judgment No. 2064-14-EP/21 issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador, addressing the violation of fundamental rights concerning the protection of personal data and the right to informational self-determination. The case revolves around a habeas data action filed by a woman whose privacy was infringed upon when intimate images were disseminated without her consent. The Court determined that the rights to honor, image, and privacy had indeed been violated, emphasizing the critical importance of informed consent in the processing of personal data. This ruling establishes significant jurisprudential standards, underscoring that the handling of sensitive data must be subject to strict regulation in order to safeguard individuals dignity and reputation. The decision sets a key precedent within Ecuadorian legislation, broadening the conceptual understanding of what constitutes personal data and how it should be managed particularly in digital environments highlighting the urgent need to protect individual rights in the digital age.
