Abstract Originally, privacy was conceived primarily as a duty of the state not to abuse its powers It could not, for example, enter a private house without legitimate reason or reasonable suspicion that the owner of the house had engaged in, for example, criminal conduct Gradually, however, privacy has been transformed into a subjective right of the individual to protect his/her personal interests, such as related to human dignity, individual autonomy and personal freedom.
