Privacy, Right or Award

Opponents of protection of privacy are so interested in acquiring, processing, and even commercializing individual data. This act, even if it is accompanied upon permission of the individual, will endanger personality and individual and social security of the person and his privacy. Thus, one of the main questions in the field of privacy concerns the extent of person's rights and the extent their wills may influence privacy and possibility of assigning or relinquishing it in relations between individuals. The reply depends on whether privacy is a "right" or an "award". If it is an award, then a person cannot compositionally intervene in assigning or relinquishing it; though it seems possible by applying creative will. The aspects of the privacy related to human dignity, personality and spiritual prestige of the person being subject to privacy, are assumed as "awards" but aspects not related to the above which if disclosed will not harm person's spiritual prestige are "rights" and may be considered as property and assigned or relinquished if necessary.
