Prawo do prywatności we współczesnym świecie

Abstract

The right to protect privacy is guaranteed in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland as well as the European Convention on Human Rights. The article presents different attempts to define privacy. It discusses the challenges to privacy posed in an age of technological advances. It is vital to estimate to what extent new technologies can be a threat to the private sphere in order to provide effective pieces of legislation that govern the protection of personal data and other aspects of privacy.
