The right to personal data protection in the constitutional order of the Republic of Croatia

Predmetni diplomski rad razrađuje pravo na zaštitu osobnih podataka u ustavnom uređenju Republike Hrvatske koje svoj temelj ima u ustavnoj odredbi kojom se jamči sigurnost i tajnost osobnih podataka, a pored ustavne odredbe, razrađeno je u nizu međunarodnih dokumenata koji su implementacijom u hrvatsko zakonodavstvo postali dijelom ustavnopravnog poretka Republike Hrvatske. Cilj rada je pojmovno i normativno određenje prava na zaštitu osobnih podataka prema Ustavu Republike Hrvatske i drugim relevantnim pravnim propisima. Posebna pažnja u radu posvećena je Općoj uredbi o zaštiti podataka koja se u Republici Hrvatskoj, kao punopravnoj članici Europske unije, primjenjuje od 25. svibnja 2018. godine i Agenciji za zaštitu osobnih podataka. Osim navedenoga, u radu se razrađuje razvoj prava na zaštitu podataka i njegovo normativno odvajanje od prava na privatnost, ograničenja i odgovornost za štetu zbog njegove povrede te se daje prikaz prakse Ustavnog suda Republike Hrvatske i Europskog suda za ljudska prava.This diploma thesis elaborates right to personal data protection in the constitutional order of the Republic of Croatia, which has its basis in the constitutional provision guaranteeing the security and confidentiality of personal data, and in addition to the constitutional provision, has been elaborated in a series of international documents that have become part of the constitutional order of the Republic of Croatia by implementation into Croatian legislation.
