Abstract: This study looks at the legal protection of personal information that is accessible online through electronic websites, especially in view of the quick advancement of contemporary information technologies and the rise in various violations that impact people because of how quickly and easily such information can be shared. The dignity of private life is seriously threatened by these infractions whenever any activity concerning digital privacy is carried out. Strengthening international efforts to offer legal protection for personal data when it is violated by outsiders has therefore become essential. In this sense, the Iraqi lawmaker needs to step in and pass legislation protecting the privacy of digital information. In addition, we discussed the idea of information privacy, which deals with personal information. Since it pertains to the individual as a human being, such information is regarded as private. This includes details like name, address, phone number, and other records and information associated with each natural person. Additionally, the conversation looked at the hazards involved and the connection between digital privacy and information privacy protection. Particularly while using the global Internet network, people should be aware of the types of privacy intrusions that digital information privacy aims to prevent. The study further analyzes the legislative approach of Iraq towards the protection of personal data, as embodied in the provisions of the Electronic Signature and Transactions Law No. 79 of 2012 and the Electronic Payment Services Regulations No. 3 of 2014. It also evaluates the Egyptian legislator’s framework under the Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020, alongside the Qatari legislator’s stance as outlined in the Personal Data Privacy Law No. 3 of 2016. Through this comparative perspective, the research highlights both the convergences and divergences in legislative strategies, revealing the extent to which each jurisdiction addresses emerging challenges in safeguarding digital information privacy.
