Abstract

Information processing in communication networks depends on respecting the privacy rights of data subjects, including obtaining consent and respecting their legal rights, such as access to processed information, modification or deletion of information, etc. However, sometimes there are situations where the implementation of the above rules is in conflict with the rights of the society and the government, and the issue of conflict between public and private rights comes up. The main question of the current research is that in the conflict between public and private rights in the process of information processing of communication networks, which is the priority and what are the limitations of the implementation of private rights? In order to answer this question, the present qualitative and descriptive-analytical research, using a documentary and comparative study method, examines the overlap and prioritization of public rights over private rights in the legal system of Iran and the European Union in two categories: processing in line with goals based on public interests and processing in order to preserve the national and social security, and in the conclusion part, it has attempted to provide some policy recommendations, such as passing a comprehensive law on how to process information in communication networks, informing people about their rights and duties in the process of information processing, and determining the institutions supervising how to process information.
