osobistych

Osobistych is the genitive plural form of the Polish adjective osobisty, which means personal or private. As a grammatical inflection, it is used when the noun it modifies appears in the genitive case in plural. In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they describe in gender, number, and case, so different forms such as osobisty, osobista, osobiste, and osobistych appear depending on the context.

In practice, osobistych occurs in phrases where the noun is plural and in genitive case. Common examples include personal data and related concepts, such as danych osobistych (personal data in genitive plural) or cech osobistych (personal traits in genitive plural). It also appears in fixed expressions like ochroną danych osobistych, where the adjective contributes to the description of the data being private or individual.

It is worth noting that the adjective has broader everyday use beyond data contexts. It can modify various plural nouns referring to things tied to a person or private life, such as cechy osobistych (personal traits) or sprzęt osobistych przypadku, though the exact phrases depend on the noun and grammatical case.

Overall, osobistych is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form of osobisty used to express “of personal/private” in relation to plural nouns in the genitive case. In privacy and data-protection discourse, Polish often uses dane osobowe (personal data) as the standard term, while osobistych appears in other grammatical constructions.
