Article 21 (Puttaswamy, 2017)
Right to privacy
Your body, your data and your personal choices are yours to control.
Real life
An app asks for your contacts and photos to run a calculator. You can say no - that data is not needed.
What it means
- In 2017 the Supreme Court held privacy is a fundamental right under Article 21.
- It covers your body, your home, your information and your choices.
- Any intrusion needs a law, a real purpose, and must go no further than necessary.
