Summary/Abstract: Today, there are serious discussions in the world at different levels about the possibilities of modern information and communication technologies (ICT), but also about their unwanted consequences. For an ordinary person, the “new” way of communicating via the Internet and mobile telephony is at the same time easy, simple, fast, and necessary; it becomes a fact of his daily life. Moreover, modern times include the Internet as one of the main means of communication. If used “properly”, it represents an abundance of information on almost any topic and brings many benefits. With a diverse amount of collected data, it easily mediates the acquisition of new knowledge and lifestyle shaping. In this perspective, life on the Internet network is increasingly becoming a space subject to manipulation and abuse. The list of abuses is long, from attacks on other people’s privacy to persecution, cyber mobbing, peer violence, sexual harassment and violence, trafficking in human beings and human organs, etc. In this way, the emergence of new technologies significantly threatens the right to privacy. In recent years, the right to privacy has mostly been associated with personal data. The right to privacy and protection of personal data is one of the most basic human rights. Since it is a fundamental human and citizen right, the Constitution, the Data Protection Act (DPA), and the Criminal Code (Article 146, Unauthorised Gathering of Personal Data) serve as the foundation for its protection under our legal system. The aim of the work is to contribute to the scientific debate in that area.
