The right to information is an important instrument for a control of public authority in any democratic state. Ocasionally, however, there may be a conflict between this right and the  right to privacy. In this context, the Czech Supreme Administrative Court was tasked with  solving the question of whether information on the salaries of employees who are paid from  public funds can be published.

This chapter considers the right of the child to respect for private life from the perspective of three interrelated, but distinct, aspects. First, it considers the Court’s case law concerning the right to privacy, and the protection of one’s image. Second, it examines the development of the Court’s approach to the right to receive information—this ranges from rather conservative and paternalistic beginnings to a more robust protection of freedom of expression. Finally, the chapter analyses the Court’s jurisprudence concerning the right to identity, including the right to information on origins and rights concerning the naming of children and their citizenship.

Abstract In Lithuania rules for the anonymization of court decisions were introduced in 2005. These rules require automatic anonymization of all court decisions, which in the opinion of the authors violates the public interest to know and freedom of expression is unjustifiably restricted on behalf of the right to privacy. This issue covers two diametrically opposed human rights: the right to privacy and the right to information. The first question is how the balance between two equivalent rights could be reached. The second question is whether this regulation is in accordance with the law as it is established in the national Constitution and revealed by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania and developed by the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. The authors conclude that the legislator is not empowered to delegate to the Judicial Council issues which are a matter of legal regulation and suggest possible solutions evaluating practice of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Court of Human Rights, and selected EU countries.

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.
