Svoboda “v síti”
Freedom “in the Net”

Summary/Abstract: This thesis focus on the legal aspects of privacy protection in the environment of data networks, especially the Internet. There is the information technology attack defined in the beginning of the document, following by typical attacks known. Those targeting on the privacy are pointed out and divided into the two basic categories: PUSH and PULL, also explained in the document. In the second part, the actual legal consequences in Czech Republic and European Union are discussed. The legal view is described from the administrative law and criminal law perspectives. The second part is divided into the two logical chapters, first summarizing existing laws and highlighting consequential sections and definitions, second explaining how those sections and definitions can be enforced in the practice. As the “European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member states” is one of the European tools helping to enforce (among others) the privacy, the last part brings a brief overview of main principles discussed in that document and describes, how they have been implemented into the Czech legislation. There has been no space to analyze the national legislation in the area of privacy of other important countries (e. g. USA, China) in the thesis, neither to discuss this topic from the international perspective.
