Abstract

The Internet of Things is the technology of connecting things, humans and animals in a network that has wide dimensions in current human life. Its importance has increased as the issue of protecting people's rights, such as protecting their privacy, has grown. Accordingly, this paper's fundamental question is the relationship between the right to privacy as a human right and the right to the internet of things in Iran's legal system. The right to privacy is one of the first-generation rights that conflict with the right to enjoy the Internet of Things. The second right relates to economic and social rights, whose proof was disputed under international law. In addition, the rank of this right was lower compared to other examples of social and economic rights. In the future, it may be possible to ignore the fulfilment of the right to privacy if it becomes one of the necessities of human life. The content of the right to privacy in the area of the Internet of Things included the management and monitoring of one's data on the one hand and, on the other hand, compliance with security in the three areas: security of the Internet of Things systems and related systems against hacking and intrusion, security and observance of the principles during the legal collection of data and security during the storage and use of data. In addition, they should observe legal and ethical principles during collecting and using personal data in Iran. Other examples of violating individuals' privacy rights in the field of the Internet of Things in Iran are insulting people, obtaining unauthorised access to data on the Internet of Things system, making data publicly available, deleting or destroying data, disrupting or disabling Internet of Things systems, etc. We conclude that approving laws and cultural policies is the best solution to support this right
