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—privacy rights. This book presents a comprehensive reflection on the cutting-edge theories, institutional arrangements, and judicial protection of privacy rights. It not only proposes a series of solutions to conflicts between privacy rights and freedom of speech, right to know, right to publicity, etc., but also delves into the privacy protection and reasonable use of personal data, privacy protection on the internet, and issues of joint privacy protection.
