This chapter explores the growing tension between state surveillance and individual privacy, focusing on the Indian legal framework, includ-ing the Justice K.S. Putaswamy decision, and comparing it with global standards such as the GDPR, ECHR, and Budapest Convention. Key issues addressed include algorithmic bias, lack of consert, cross-border data sharing, and misuse of forensic tools against vulnerable groups. The chapter argues for a balanced, rights-based framework grounded in privacy-by-design, proportionality, and judicial oversight. It offers policy recommendations to ensure cyber forensic practices remain effective while upholding constitutional protections and international human rights norms. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
