description Competition law and data privacy meet at a crucial point in the growing digital economy, making it essential to delve into their intricate relationship. This thesis investigates how competition law and data protection law interact within the digital market. It examines how data protection regulations influence market dynamics and competition, and how competition law affects data processing and individual rights during the digital transformation. By thoroughly exploring key themes, such as historical context, current challenges, and regulatory responses, this research aims to shed light on the changing regulatory landscape and its impact on future frameworks in the digital era. The thesis argues that a balanced approach is essential to promote innovation, protect consumer welfare, and safeguard individual privacy rights in the digital age. It delves into the challenges posed by zero-price markets, the impact of big data as a competitive advantage for tech firms, the legal framework governing data privacy, and the regulatory responses aimed at bridging the gap between competition law and data privacy, epitomized by the European Union's Digital Markets Act. Through this multidimensional exploration, the thesis aims to provide a holistic understanding of the intricate interplay between competition law and data privacy, shedding light on the challenges, opportunities, and implications for the future of regulatory frameworks in the digital age.
