Privacy is increasingly recognised as a fundamental human right across the world. In India, the Supreme Court ruled in 2017 that privacy is a fundamental right, an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution. In the UK, the Human Rights Act protects everyone's right to respect for their private and family life, home and correspondence. Privacy is not a nice-to-have. It is a fundamental human right that should be protected for every human being, in the physical and the digital world. Polkadot products aim to make privacy the default across the entire product stack.
