Personal data protection

Personal data, as a component of the right to privacy, are inextricably linked to and they determine the identity of the individual. Hence, they can be very “powerful tool” to identify various professional and personal preferences of the one to whom they belong. In fact, they “speak” very loud about the music you like, the sport you practice, they point out on what do you spent your money the most, about your health condition, reveal your political beliefs, etc. If we add modern technological advances, social networking, data transfer in a split of a second, on-line commerce, and overall electronic communication people daily exercise, it can be concluded that personal data “speak” louder and more about us than we ever aware of it!
