Main Article Content
Abstract
Most legislations in various countries around the world seek to protect individuals’ private lives by establishing an effective legal framework to achieve this goal. This is especially necessary to keep pace with developments in commercial transactions, which are increasingly conducted electronically and require attention to the privacy of this type of transaction. In this regard, the importance of protecting personal data emerges. Hence, Algeria issued Law No. 18-07, dated June 10, 2018, concerning the protection of personal data, which is considered an important step towards enhancing trust in e-commerce in Algeria.
