The current situation of the right to privacy: historical perspective and the Brazilian scenario

Abstract

This paper aims to present an overview of the evolution of the right to privacy, incorporated in our legal system by the 1988 Constitution and later the Civil Code of 2002. This malleable right is extremely sensitive to social changes. Recognizing privacy as a volatile legal object, the article shows that the context in which privacy rights are inserted is essential to its effectiveness. The work respects the deductive method, starting with the analysis of the first steps of the right to privacy as an autonomous figure, ending with its current interpretation by the Supreme Court.
