The article is devoted to the issues of comparative legal analysis and correlation of theoretical and legal concepts of personal privacy prevailing in foreign legal literature, and is aimed at determining the legal nature, essence and social value of privacy for the individual, society and the State in the conditions of formation and development of social relations in the age of information technology. For the first time in the domestic legal literature, the article attempts to define the author’s theoretical and legal model (concept) of understanding privacy of an individual as a complex system of interrelated elements, i.e. rights and freedoms of the individual, reveals the essence and legal nature of relevant elements, provides for the author’s definitions of elements in question, and draws conclusions concerning importance of this approach for both domestic legal science and court practice.
