The current and amazing development of information technologies entails significant advantages for economic growth, data exchange (including personal data), improvement in the quality of life, as well as in administrative, social and cultural activities. However, the improper use of such technologies may cause important financial losses, serious risks for human safety and may also threaten privacy and adversely affect informative self-determination rights.
