This dissertation deals with the concepts of "crowd monitoring" and "WiFi tracking", the aspects of these monitoring methods, their application in people's daily lives and the way they work. Various aspects of the above forms of monitoring in different areas of society and everyday life are examined, while the concept of the 'smart city', which has been rapidly developing in recent years, is further presented, and analysed. The paper also explores the technological tools developed in the context of the urgent and unforeseen need to address the negative consequences of the emergence of the covid-19 coronavirus, and in particular in the context of limiting its spread and taking the necessary measures in this regard, and whether the technologies developed and the measures implemented to - inter alia - digitally track contacts and monitor compliance with the rules laid down by the respective governments were in compliance with the provisions of the data protection legislation. The dissertation explores the advantages of the above technologies, the ways in which they facilitate and benefit people's lives as well as the disadvantages and vulnerabilities of the relevant systems. At the same time, it examines the level of protection of personal data and privacy of individuals in the context of the operation of the above "crowd monitoring" systems and the urgent need for privacy that has arisen from the rapid development and application of these new technologies - almost - in all areas of our lives. The utilisation of existing legislative instruments in the field of personal data protection is a fundamental approach for the implementation and operation of the above forms of 'crowd monitoring', while at the same time it is extremely important Starting from fundamental provisions of the European legal order, the issue of the protection of personal data of individuals, as an aspect of the right to privacy, is developed in the light of the General Data Protection Regulation.
