Abstract

The article contains an analysis of the manifestations of a person's legal identity in modern society in the context of the protection of personal data and the proper implementation of the human right to privacy. It is motivated that humanity lives under the influence of global changes. Global changes and achievements in the world affect all areas of society. It has been proven that the information society has changed our identity due to potentially wide technical opportunities, as well as threats of a synergistic nature, which are characterized by an unprecedented and uncertain nature. Confronting unwanted information fundamentally challenges a person's ability to form and maintain an identity. One of the most common ways of understanding identity formation is through the construction of a personal narrative. Identity is destroyed by the spread of unwanted information or the spread of personal data. In the information environment, there is both a quantitative and a qualitative difference with respect to private information. Among other things, the number of information carriers has grown exponentially, which means that the information confrontations of society and identity will occur continuously, not randomly; the dissemination of information on the Internet is not tied to time or location, making it almost impossible to avoid information. It was established that a significant problem is the security of personal data, which directly affects the legal identity of a person. Thanks to recent technological advances, online identity theft has become more common than ever before and has begun to take on a new technological form. Information fraud with identity documents is currently widespread and is also a threat to a person's legal identity. The need for comprehensive legal regulation is proven by using an inter-complementary approach, which indicates not only the transformation of the legal approach, but also the improvement of technological and organizational guarantees of ensuring legal identity.
