Aspects of the Privacy of Electronic Contracts

Objectives: The rapid and continuous technological development of communication systems has led to the use of modern communication means in the formation of contracts, raising numerous questions about the impact of these modern means on the general theory of contracts or the ability of the latter to encompass the provisions of electronic contracts, despite their relatively recent emergence in the legal environment. Methods: Recently, there has been a notable increase in the use of such contracts conducted within a digital space over the internet, playing a significant role in electronic commercial transactions. Results: This situation raises a series of legal issues that clash with legislative gaps, especially since traditional legal texts are insufficient to address this new form of contract. Conclusion: This has prompted international legislations, including Algerian legislation, to regulate this new type of contract.
