Summary/Abstract: Today the right of privacy is an autonomous right which is firmly upheld by article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Namely, this paper presents a detailed analysis of the right of privacy through the practice of the European Court of Human Rights and the compliance of the regulations for personal data protection in the Republic of Macedonia with the European rules and values. Namely, the modern technologies (Privacy Enhancing Technologies, PET) will enable in a creative way to prevent the invasion of the individual privacy and may greatly help to reduce the number of incidents involving infringement of the right of privacy and misuse of personal data. Since the implementation of privacy and personal data protection is a relatively new concept in our country, one can easily identify as one of the preconditions to joining the European Union and it is also one of the preconditions to building a democratic society.
