Article 8 of the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights)

Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights protects an individual’s right to respect for their private and family life, their home, and their correspondence. This means that everyone has the right to live privately without unjust interference from the government or others. However, this right is not absolute; it can be lawfully restricted for reasons like national security, public safety, or protecting the rights of others. Essentially, Article 8 balances personal privacy with the interests of society.
