Poland
Language of privacy
There is no clear concept of privacy in Poland. Usually it is associated with informational privacy. Authors use terms ‘privacy’ or ‘private sphere’ to protect most sensitive information on health status, sexual life or family life, religion and political beliefs etc.
Sometimes it is stressed that right to intimacy is a part of broader right to privacy. For example, term “privacy” was used to describe the situation of employees being monitored in work environment by their employer.
