Features: As social material civilization becomes more developed, communication methods and media become more modernized, people increasingly need to preserve the tranquility of their own inner world and maintain a relatively isolated peaceful environment from the complex external world. This universal spiritual need in modern society, after rational refinement by legal scholars, recognition by lawmakers and judges, has evolved into an important personality right—the right to privacy. This book presents a comprehensive reflection on the cutting-edge theories, institutional arrangements, and judicial protection of the right to privacy. It not only proposes a series of solutions to conflicts between the right to privacy and freedom of speech, the right to know, the right to public disclosure, and other rights, but also delves into the privacy protection and reasonable use of personal data, the protection of privacy online, and issues of joint privacy protection.
