Abstract
The quality protection of the fundamental right to privacy cannot be achieved without sufficient protection of personal data. The General Data Protection Regulation provides special rules for the processing of health data as a special category of personal data which is considered to be sensitive by its nature.
In this article we aim to investigate the legal regulation for the processing oh health data and to show the connection of this legal regulation with the individual‘s fundamental right to privacy. And vice versa – it‘s important to determine what impact the right to privacy has had on the law of personal data protection.
In order to achieve those goals, there will be discussed the origins of the right to privacy and it‘s enshrining into the international and local law. The article will analyze not only the legal regulation of health data protection, but also reveal the connection between individual‘s right to privacy and the personal data protection system.##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.details##
