Limits and protection of the right to the privacy of private life in Turkish law

The concept of private life has been a matter of controversy from the past to the present, as new developments occur and these developments add new meanings to the concept in question. With the developments in information technology, the interventions of people's private lives have become easier and the importance of the mentioned right has started to be felt more today. Undoubtedly, the most important tool for protecting the right to privacy is law. Therefore, the right to privacy is included in international human rights conventions today, and many governments try to protect their right to privacy through constitutional and judicial decisions. In this context, the main view of the court in terms of the scope of the mentioned right and the limitations imposed on this right in line with the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, which the Turkish Constitutional Court has taken as reference to the privacy of private life, has been tried to be revealed. In the next section, the regulation of the privacy of private life in our constitution is examined and subsequently the approach of the Constitutional Court to the right to privacy is examined. Since the decisions of the Turkish Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights are of a guiding nature in practice, the limits and protection of the right to privacy in these two courts have been tried to be revealed with actual court order.
