The Right

Although the federal Constitution of the United States does not expressly recognize a «right to privacy», however, the Supreme Court, over a long and gradual case law, has considered it implicit in the guarantees of the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments. Therefore, in the American constitutional system the right to privacy is a broad concept, which is set along more than a century to progressively delimit those areas of the private sphere which tend to preserve those interests of solitude, sanctuary, autonomy, individuality, personal development, freedom of choice in personal matters, control of personal information, as well as the essential substrate of the inviolable human dignity. These essential individual interests contribute to the formation of an active and participatory citizenship, constituting thus the right to privacy a fundamental legal interest for the very existence of the democratic system.Aunque la Constitución federal de los Estados Unidos no reconoce expresamente un «derecho a la privacidad », sin embargo, el Tribunal Supremo, a lo largo de una extensa y gradual jurisprudencia, lo ha considerado implícito en las garantías de la Primera, Cuarta, Quinta, Novena y Decimocuarta Enmiendas. Por tanto, en el sistema constitucional norteamericano el derecho a la privacidad es un concepto amplio, que se ha configurado a lo largo de más de un siglo al delimitarse progresivamente aquellos ámbitos de la esfera privada que tienden a preservar esos intereses de soledad, secreto, autonomía, individualidad, desarrollo de la personalidad, libertad de elección en asuntos personales, control de la información personal, así como del sustrato esencial de la inviolable dignidad humana. Intereses individuales de carácter esencial que coadyuvan a la formación de una ciudadanía activa y participativa, constituyendo así el derecho a la privacidad un bien jurídico fundamental para la existencia misma del sistema democrático.

Faced with protecting the right to privacy and, with it, the inviolability of homes, the development of new technologies and the possibility of developing work from home has opened the door to a series of new conflicts that require us to provide a specific legal framework by which such situations can be addressed. In the Spanish case, we speak of Law 10/2021 from 9 July on remote working. The objective of this study is to assess the scope as well as the problems that this law generates during its application, regarding controlling the provision of services. However, we not only identify the incidental factors, but also provide a necessary reinterpretation of the right to privacy from the perspective of the inviolability of homes, especially when its current articulation may operate to the detriment of employees’ rights, as contradictory as this may seem.

Abstract The need of private insurers for information on the candidate’s health risks is recognized by the law, which places pre-contractual duties of disclosure upon the candidates. When the risks are influenced by health factors, e.g. in the case of life- and health insurances, it implies the provision of health information by the candidates, who thus voluntarily limit their right to privacy. This consent, however, often happens in a context of factual coercion to contract. Next to this, from a legal standpoint, the collection of personal information must respond to the principle of proportionality. Against this background, this article assesses the compatibility of questionnaire techniques that rely on open-ended health related questions with the right to privacy, as protected by Portuguese and international law. It then analyses the extent of pre-contractual duties of disclosure as defined by the Portuguese Insurance Act, which requires the candidate to volunteer all the relevant information independently of being asked for it. In doing so, the article also refers to some other European countries. It concludes that the relevant Portuguese legislation is incompatible both with Portuguese constitutional law and with international law.
