“The right to privacy as a current issue of the 21st century” and “The right to privacy as an element of Polish legislation” were the titles of two panel discussions at HARD-TALK “The Right to Privacy”. The role of panelists was played by students and master’s degree holders from Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University of Warsaw.

During the first panel, “The Right to Privacy as a Current Problem of the 21st Century,” the speakers addressed issues concerning the framing of the right to privacy at the constitutional level, also analyzing the protection of privacy through civil law, the catalog of crimes violating the sphere of privacy of citizens or the essence of privacy in employer-employee relations.

In the second panel, entitled “The right to privacy as an element of Polish legislation,” the panelists referred to the essence of the right to be forgotten and thus to take control over the indefinite processing of information provided by us, the view of the Polish legislator on the privacy of children and the mandatory respect of the sense of individuality before the age of 18, or the maintenance of medical records during the treatment process.

The event was organized as part of the activities of the Central European Professors’ Network coordinated by the University of Miskolc – Central European Academy.
