THE ETHICS OF E-GOVERNANCE. SAFEGUARDING DATA CONFIDENTIALITY AND HUMAN SECURITY IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Summary/Abstract: With the rapid digitalization of government functions, there is an emerging need for strict legal frameworks that will protect the personal data of citizens and guarantee their rights under the GDPR, adapting these provisions into the national legislative system. This legal research discusses how the need for transparency in public administration is weighed against the requirement for the confidentiality of data and how such dynamics impact human security and civil liberties. Considering emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and automated decision-making systems, the legislative measures at present within the European Union need to be reassessed. This reassessment provides the principles of data minimization, and the legal responsibilities of both the data controller and processor in the public sector, emphasizing strongly the principles of accountability and integrity of data. The paper presented tries to provide an integral vision of data protection and human security in the digital transformation of public administration, a combination of legal and ethical considerations.
