Abstract

The right to privacy is particularly threatened by the emergence of new information technologies. In a time characterized by the processing of huge amounts of various data, the so-called “era of big data”, personal data is treated as the most important resource. The Internet has made it possible to access data that can be misused. Recognizing the dangers that the Internet brings with it, the members of the European Union have undertaken a number of important activities with the aim of protecting the rights of Internet u1sers and providing them with security on the networks. This paper presents the provisions and principles of protection of personal data and privacy on the Internet contained in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, Directive 95/46, the Charter of the European Union on Fundamental Rights, Directive 2002/58, Directive 2016/680 and General regulation on data protection. Conventions, regulations and directives are reviewed to determine to what extent the European Union has succeeded in its intention to find adequate legal regulation of data protection on the Internet.
