On 23 March 2017, the United Nations Human Rights Council adopted resolution 34/7 on “The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age”. Subsequently, the High Commissioner for Human Rights issued a request to all stakeholders to submit their inputs on the aforementioned right.

The present report was drafted for this scope and was submitted in English to the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on 4 April 2018. The report will soon be also published in the website of the High Commissioner.

The report focuses on encryption and anonymity as enablers for the enjoyment of the freedom of expression, as well as the regulatory framework in Greece that provides for the retention of electronic communications’ metadata.
