Legal Protection of Personal Images in the Era of Modern Technology 'Comparative Study'

Technology creates serious problems as it facilitates obtaining a person's image without their knowledge, constituting a violation of their right to privacy. Hence, our research titled 'Legal Protection of Personal Images in the Era of Modern Technology' aims to demonstrate how the personal image is protected through the rules of Egyptian and Algerian civil law, assessing their sufficiency and effectiveness in addressing the damages resulting from infringements upon it. Our findings lead to several conclusions and recommendations, emphasizing that the right to one's image is inherent to human personality, necessitating effective protection by developing civil law rules to confront digital technologies, especially when using facial recognition technology through the use of electronic profiles without the knowledge of their owners.
