Title A name given to the resource The Internet of Things (IoT): A Cripple to Data Privacy and Security Description An account of the resource The Fourth Industrial Revolution has paved the way for the intersection of technological advancements and innovation. Its widespread utility and convenience has had an overwhelming impact the world over. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one such advancement. It is an Internet-enabled system of physical sensory objects that have the ability to identify, share and analyse data. The goal of such advancement is to positively impact the quality of human life and to ease its everyday functioning. IoT functions on data, which can be general, personal and sensitive data. Law enforces and assures protection of personal data under the banner of privacy, known to be the right to data protection. It is recognized as an internationally accepted human right and, to nation-states, a fundamental right. The overall aim of such provisions in internationally recognised documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, 1948), the European Charter of Fundamental Rights (2000) and domestic laws like the Federal Trade Commission Act (1914) are to protect users and their data in light of the dynamic world of technology and innovation. IoT is user-friendly, enabling and convenient, but comes with its own set of challenges that cripples the fundamental and human right of data privacy and security. The current legislations on privacy hold data protection in highest reverence, assuring the user of absolute control. Though captivating in its definition of protection, in reality it falls short due to inefficiency in enforcement and application. The chapter offers a summary of the idea of data being ones own property and the crucial intervention of users data in the functioning of IoT. Highlighting the eagerness of embracing technological advancements, the chapter draws attention to the challenges of the IoT through the lens of data privacy and security. It traces its importance by using various case studies that reveal the loosely drafted, or rather incomprehensible, regulations of nation-states in protecting the right of privacy of users. The chapter concludes by considering a few ways of effective enforcement to keep intact the sanctity of the right to data privacy and security. 2025 Taylor &amp; Francis Group, LLC.
