Article 13 states that no person shall be inspected or searched without an order from the Judiciary. Article 14 expands upon that, stating that “home inspections, searches, or seizures shall not be admissible save in the cases and manners complying with measures to safeguard personal liberty. Controls and inspections for reason of public health and safety, or for economic and fiscal purposes, shall be regulated by appropriate laws.” Article 15 provides freedom of confidentiality of correspondence, with limitations only by judicial decision. Also, the 1997 Data Protection Act created the Italian Data Protection Authority which protects “fundamental rights and freedoms in connection with the processing of personal data, and to ensure respect for individuals' dignity.” References: “Constitution of the Italian Republic.” Senato della Repubblica. https://www.senato.it/documenti/repository/istituzione/costituzione_inglese.pdf “The Italian Data Protection Authority: Who We Are.” Garante Per La Protezione Dei Dati Personali. https://www.garanteprivacy.it/web/garante-privacy-en/the-italian-data-protection-authority-who-we-are#:~:text=The%20Italian%20Data%20Protection%20Authority%20 What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right? 2024-07-22T18:31:46Z 2460514.2720602 Privacy Rights/History/Country sources/Italy Page name 102 en Page name
