Yksitykset

Yksitykset, a term originating from Finnish, translates to "privacy" in English. It refers to the state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by others, and is a fundamental human right recognized in various international human rights instruments, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights. Privacy encompasses several aspects, including personal, bodily, and communicative privacy. Personal privacy refers to the right to control information about oneself, while bodily privacy pertains to the right to control one's physical space and interactions. Communicative privacy involves the right to private communication without interference or surveillance.

In the digital age, yksitykset has become a significant concern due to the widespread use of technology and the collection of personal data. This has led to the development of data protection laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, which aim to safeguard individuals' privacy rights in the digital realm. However, balancing yksitykset with other societal interests, such as national security and public safety, remains a complex and ongoing challenge.
