The right to privacy is one of the fundamental human rights and it is an expression of the need to protect the individual’s dignity. Rapid technological progress, particularly in the area of information, opens the way to a fairly deep penetration into the human’s privacy. Additionally, there is a process of globalization, which initiated the era of post-modernity. This era is characterized by changes in axiology, polycentricism and the loss of faith in the progress with the simultaneous acceleration of innovation. It is necessary to redefine the concepts of privacy and to build a system, based on good law, to protect the human right to privacy.
