Abstract The right of citizens to privacy in the Republic of Kosovo is guaranteed under the Law on Personal Data Protection. Moreover, this right is guaranteed by the Constitution (Official Gazette, 2008), which is the highest legal act. The purpose of this academic paper goes beyond a superficial assessment of the level of implementation of this fundamental right of the citizen. The core of this paper focuses on highlighting the existing challenges and those that may persist in guaranteeing the privacy of each of us under the reign of the 'Covid 19' Virus in the geographical and psychological space of all citizens of Kosovo. Despite the existence of an independent authority, mandated to oversee the implementation of this right in the public and private sector, its implementation is a permanent mission of this authority, which in our country is the Information and Privacy Agency, but also is subject to challenges, which are not always generated by human negligence. To give the deserved physiognomy to this article, official accessible sources of the sole authority that oversees the implementation of this right in our country have been used. Statistical data presented within the trunk of the paper reinforce the thesis introduced in the introduction of the article, which is confirmed during its full elaboration, reinforcing the view that part of the main challenges for Information and Privacy Agency persists being the limited number of human professional resources, as a guarantee for establishing an unwavering trust among the citizens that their privacy is guaranteed.

The development of information technology in the era of globalization makes it easier for people to carry out their daily activities, apart from socializing, it can also be a channel for work. Behind the simplicity coveted by technological developments opens up loopholes related to personal data that is easily misused. Indonesia does not yet have specific laws governing the protection of personal data as a whole. So that the author will examine the urgency of the draft personal data law in Indonesia, personal data protection schemes, to the impact of the implementation of the personal data protection bill. This study uses a normative juridical research method. The results of the study point to a privacy rights protection scheme in which everyone has the right to publish personal data or the right not to publish personal data to the public. The weakness of personal data protection regulations in Indonesia that have not been specifically regulated increases the potential for crimes against the right to privacy, but the drafting of the Personal Data Protection Bill brings fresh air not only to the public but to the government sector to the international business environment.

Population data science [1] researchers are not alone in recognizing the value of health and health-related data. In the era of big data, and with advent of machine learning and other artificial intelligence methods, organizations around the world are actively working to turn data into knowledge, and, in some cases, profit. The media and members of the public have taken notice, with high profile news stories about data breaches and privacy concerns [2-4] alongside some stories that call for increased use of data [5,6]. In response, public and private sector data-holding organizations and jurisdictions are turning their attention to policies, processes and regulations intended to ensure that personal data are used in ways that that the public supports. In some cases, these efforts include involving “publics” in decisions about data, such as using patient and lay person advice and other inputs to help shape policies [7-10].

Actuality, recent, has made us witnesses of rapid technological developments, as part of the globalization process, which inevitably affect to our lives.Technological developments facilitate our day-to-day life starting from the most common aspects and advancing at the speed of light to more complex processes that the human mind would not have been able to solve in the same space of time and with the same resources utilized. Free movement, downloading different apps on our smartphones, shopping online or the registering on social networks are just some of the activities that each of us performs daily, often without being aware of what brings these activities together is actually an action, which is legally called "processing of personal data of the individual".Often with the help of technology, private companies and public authorities collect personal information from clients, services receivers or ordinary citizens and they use it to an unprecedented extent in the pursuit of their activities and goals. The protection of personal data of individuals is in fact a fundamental right, which is sanctioned by a legislation of particular importance in international and domestic law.Even in the Albanian legal order, the right to protection of personal data is sanctioned by a specific legal corpus. In the context of the particular importance of the sensitivity that personal data bears, the European Union has adopted the GDPR, an improved act that reinforces the level of protection of the individual against bureaucracy and rapid technological developments.This modest paper focuses on the impact of this regulation in Albania on public and private legal entities that collect and process personal data.How will the GDPR affect, as an act focusing on respect for private and family life, housing and communications, personal data protection, free thought, conscience and religion, freedom of expression and information, freedom to perform business, the right to effective protection and fair trial in terms of cultural, religious and linguistic diversity, decision-making and activity of various entities in the Republic of Albania?The structure of this paper includes in the introductory section a brief history of the relevant legal acts, goes on to explain some specific terms and addresses important aspects of the impact on legal entities of the latest European Union regulation in the field of protection of personal data.

Many applications and websites to fight the Covid-19 pandemic have been created and developed in recent months by both official institutions and commercial or private initiatives. A large number of projects that use technologies such as geolocation, geopositioning, geofencing, tracking, and registration of contacts through Bluetooth have arisen, generating a huge amount of data. By using big data techniques, geographic information systems (GIS), and artificial intelligence, information has been produced for health institutions and society itself, helping to address the health crisis more efficiently. This article describes, analyzes, and offers a systematized review of a significant sample of websites and applications recently implemented successfully or under development by public and private institutions. We searched the available scholarly literature, as well as news from the main newspapers, websites, and digital media specialized in technology.

AbstractScientific research is indispensable inter alia in order to treat harmful diseases, address societal challenges and foster economic innovation. Such research is not the domain of a single type of organization but can be conducted by a range of different entities in both the public and private sectors. Given that the use of personal data may be indispensable for many forms of research, the data protection framework will play an important role in determining not only what types of research may occur but also which types of actors may carry it out. This article looks at the role the EU’s General Data Regulation plays in determining which types of actors can conduct research with personal data. In doing so it focuses on the various legal bases that are available and attempts to discern whether the GDPR can be said to favour research in either the public or private domains. As this article explains, the picture is nuanced, with either type of research actor enjoying advantages and disadvantages in specific contexts.

Personal Data Protection as Part of the Right to PrivacySummaryThe issues related to the right to privacy and personal data protection are a new important area for the constitutional studies in Poland. Their emergence owes much to the development of information technology and the adjustment of Polish law, including constitutional law, to international standards. Under the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2 April 1997, personal protection is seen as part of the right to privacy. The following issues have become the subject of the academic research: the constitutionalization of personal data protection, constitutional rights of identifiable persons, the relation of personal data and the right to privacy, the democratic state under the rule of law as the guarantor of the right to privacy and personal data protection, as well as human dignity as the basis of this right.
