Abstract

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the development of legal regulation of personal data protection in the EU countries and Ukraine. It analyzes how the European legislator’s approach to personal data protection has changed. The need for changes was due to the development of information technologies and, as a result, increased risk of their use to interfere in private life. As a result, European legislation on personal data protection has been strengthened, which has become particularly noticeable after the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter - GDPR). Special attention is paid to the principles of lawful, fair and transparent processing of personal data concerning: limiting the target; data minimization; accurate and up-to-date processing; limiting the storage of personal data in a form that allows identification; confidentiality and security of data storage; accountability and responsibility. The current Ukrainian legislation on personal data protection is analyzed. Finally, the correlation between the categories “right to privacy” and “personal data protection” was studied.
