Privacy is a problem that touches virtually all aspects of human life and the changes occurring in the modern world and the development of technical means for collection, storage and retrieval of information about other people have increased the need to legally protect the human right to privacy, i.e. the right “to be left alone”). In the age of digital democracy, there has emerged a need to adopt systemic solutions that would take into account both new threats and ways of violating human rights and freedoms. On the European ground, the response to such demand was the implementation of the regulation on personal data protection – GDPR Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation), which entered into force on 25 May 2018.
