The protection of personal data is one of the fundamental human rights and freedoms that belongs to all people without exception and is defined by Article 38 of the Slovenian Constitution. In today's technologically advanced world, it is very important to know what personal data is and what they cover, how to handle it, store and protect it. With this thesis I want to acquaint individuals with our fundamental human rights to privacy and protection of personal data. What would happen if data got into the wrong hands and consequently thus violates the rights of the individual, who is responsible for data regulating, where do we find legal assistance, how do we resolve certain matters relating to the human rights that have been taken away from us.
The purpose of this thesis is to show the importance of maintaining privacy and protection of personal data in private life and employment. Above all, to show the relationship between the employee and the employer, their rights and duties, as in practice in the employment relationship personal data is often misused and it comes to violation of the Law on Data Protection Act. Lack of workers’ knowledge has encouraged exploring of this topic, as lack of workers’ knowledge in practice quickly manifests itself as the exploitation of the worker for the employer benefit and consequently contributes to the invasion of individual's privacy. Every employee must be aware of his/her rights and duties in the employment relationship.
The thesis is based on a descriptive method, and it is based on professional literature, online literature and laws. Through this thesis are shown events that often happen in practice and are legally defined based on laws. With the analysis of literature and laws, I presented the rights of employees in an employment relationship in the most understandable way (in the case of tables by using the methods of synthesis and deduction).
It was established that in exercising rights of the employee in the field of data protection, it is important that the employee and the employer are aware of their rights and obligations arising in the employment relationship. Based on the law, it is difficult to show the exact boundary between what is right and what is wrong, because different jobs have various conditions. With knowledge of data protection itself, we can get closer to the limits of what is right, and nonetheless, the employer and employee must be aware of their rights which will ensure greater individual security
