Abstract
This thesis aims to shed light on the complex world of digital surveillance software and to
highlight the potential risks stemming from its indiscriminate and unlawful use in the realm of
privacy protection in the modern era.
In particular, it includes, an analysis of the term "spyware," outlining its key characteristics, its
classifications, functions, uses, and the methods that have been discovered so far to protect the
user from its illegal applications. Subsequently, the study examines the right to privacy in its two
main aspects—personal rights and the confidentiality of communications—as these are primarily
enshrined in constitutional law.
Furthermore, the thesis focuses on how spyware endangers or even infringes on an individual’s
right to privacy, particularly as it relates to the digital sphere, drawing on examples from
domestic cases and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). It also examines
the legislative framework surrounding these issues.
The thesis concludes with the insights gained and reflections formed through a comprehensive
analysis and assessment of the aforementioned critical issues.
