Abstract :Developments in the field of digital technologies, on the one hand, transform individual and social life, and on the other hand, transform the privacy understanding of individuals and societies. The ability to record, store and transmit images and sounds through digital technologies raises the issue of violation of privacy and narrows one's private space. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between surveillance, smart technologies, and privacy phenomena through factual data. The research was conducted based on the descriptive statistical method. In line with the research problem and basic question, the descriptive statistical method was preferred because it can access the universe parameters directly. The research analysis was based on secondary data obtained through various databases and open sources. The data has been examined in terms of trends, and the development of smart technologies that make societies surveillance societies over the years is given graphically. In this way, the possibility of considering privacy and surveillance society together has been critically examined. Research findings show that developed countries are also developed in terms of surveillance, and it is almost impossible to protect privacy in these societies.
