It is in this context that the various uses of this technology are realized and occurred and as a result, the issue of consumer rights becomes meaningful in it. The dimensions and aspects of consumer rights in the field of IoT are more complex than other cases due to its nature and include dimensions and aspects such as security, health, awareness etc., which are mainly mentioned in the Law of Iran in general and as a result, they can be used for the Internet of Things. Some, such as freedom of choice, right of ownership and the right to data portability, etc., should be considered by the legislature for utilization of these dimensions and aspects of consumer rights. Some others cannot enter into its content due to the nature of this right.
