- Abstract
The current digital progress in all the areas of various economic activities involves the processing of a much larger amount of data than it was ever necessary for any management decisions in the past. This tendency is mostly due to the rapidly increasing storage capacity, advanced ways of data processing and usage, as well as economic advantages; as better informed management decisions can be taken if a greater amount of data is processed. To reach a solution to a problem, various random data are specifically processed and considered. The feasibility of the solution reached depends on the amount of data processed, so anyone tends to acquire as much information as possible, even if the data have to be obtained illegally. The author considers the issues of legislation related to the protection of the citizen’s right to private life provided that all interested parties have the capacity and the willingness to obtain the data. The current legislation related to the area discussed is studied and the drawbacks are highlighted. The author underlines possible risks for the development of the digital economy due to current legislation flaws.
