ABSTRACT
The chapter is devoted to the examination of the permissible scope of interference in the privacy of civil servants because of their special status as persons employed by the public authority. In the European multilevel system of human rights protection, the central axis of privacy protection in employment is constituted by the European Convention on Human Rights and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The purpose of this chapter is therefore to elucidate the relevant standards for protecting the privacy of civil servants through the prism of the jurisprudential activity of the ECtHR, which should make it possible to capture the potential influence of these interpretations on the national component of the multilevel system of the protection of the privacy of the civil service in Europe.
