Edit Right section: Privacy Rights/Limitations - Restrictions/Country exceptions

Content:

Article 8(2) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) presents exceptions to the right to privacy. Privacy is granted “except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others” ([[Probable year:: 1950]]) . The Universal Declaration on Human Rights ([[Probable year:: 1948]]) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights ([[Probable year:: 1996]]) allow for reasonable, non-arbitrary searches. These exceptions allow privacy to be breached with a court-issued warrant. Most exceptions stem from these documents and it should be noted that the United Nations extended the right to privacy to online spheres (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, [[Probable year:: 2013]], I§5). Additionally, the European Union implemented the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which prevents the sharing of personal data with outside sources (Wolford, n.d.). The GDPR applies to any companies operating in or with the EU causing it to have international implications (Wolford, n.d.). References: European Convention on Human Rights. Council of Europe.
