    Rychlý vývoj informací a komunikačních technologií zdůrazňuje rostoucí potřebu spolehlivé ochrany osobních
    údajů – práva, jež zaručují jak nástroje Evropské unie (EU), tak nástroje Rady Evropy (RE). Ochrana tohoto
    důležitého práva přináší nové a významné výzvy, jelikož technologický pokrok rozšiřuje hranice oblastí, jako
    je dozor, odposlouchávání komunikací a uchovávání údajů. Tato příručka je určena k tomu, aby právníky,
    kteří se nespecializují na oblast ochrany údajů, s touto oblastí práva seznámila. Poskytuje přehled platných
    právních rámců EU a RE. Vysvětluje rovněž klíčovou judikaturu, shrnuje hlavní rozhodnutí Evropského soudu
    pro lidská práva i Soudního dvora Evropské unie. Kromě toho představuje hypotetické scénáře, které slouží
    jako praktické ilustrace rozmanitých problémů, s nimiž se v tomto neustále se měnícím oboru potýkáme.
