The right to privacy
More about the research objective
The aim of the research to be carried out by the research team is to provide a comparative legal perspective on the main trends in the right to privacy in Central European countries. The research team will examine the domestic interpretations and problems of the right to privacy and their legal representations. A particular focal point of the research is the legal responses to the questions raised, primarily from the perspective of how far the possibilities of intervention by national authorities (also) extend, the limits of the possibilities of such intervention.

The research team focuses on the question in which cases the influence and intervention of international organisations, in particular the Council of Europe and the European Union, which affect national forms of privacy protection in a given state, and how the right to privacy is interpreted in national case law and the practice of international organisations in cases where one of the parties is the analysed state. The general aim of the research team is to present a national perspective on the interpretation, implementation and protection of the right to privacy, and to identify national specificities.
