Abstract

The most important aim of this study is to propose a model for protecting citizens’ information privacy in e-Government for developing countries. This study develops theoretical foundations and models of e-Government in  judicial-legal dimension. The methodology of this study is qualitative including documentary study, content analysis and comparative study. Statistical population of this study includes 58 countries with information privacy act which 11 countries were selected by judgment sampling for documentary study. These countries include:, England, Canada, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Belgium and Republic of Korea. Proposed model of this study includes seven dimensions: (1) data collection obligations, (2) data use obligations, (3) data retention obligations, (4) data disclosure obligations, (5) data subject rights, (6) controller responsibilities and (7) obligations of accessing to data by citizen. Of 124 identified obligations for protecting citizens’ information privacy in e-Government as indexes of these dimensions, 105 obligations have a weight over 0.5 and can be a pattern for developing countries in order to regulate the e-Government development in the in the field of citizens’ information privacy protection as standard principles. It is hoped that the proposed model of this study would help developing countries in order to protect citizens’ information privacy in e-Government.
