The Human Rights: The Legal Protection of Personal Data

Abstract

This paper handles a fundamental human right, with a development dynamic that made it increasingly important in the life of every individual in a society. Considering all the issues in the implementation of personal data protection standards in our country, it is aimed to analyze one of the broadest sectors in the collection and processing of personal data, and the problems that arise during the exercise of public administration institutions’ activities. The reasons that led us to such a research are also related to the collusion of the right to privacy and the right to collect and process personal data by public institutions (during their activities and for the fulfillment of rights of citizens themselves), analyzing the legal requirements to guarantee this right and the control for its full implementation by the subjects of the data themselves. In the conclusions part, it is aimed at providing answers to the above issues, as well as producing recommendations based on the analysis of the material conditions in the formal guaranteeing of this right or on the problems encountered in practice.
