"Respect for the privacy of one’s communications is an
essential dimension of this right, applying both to natural and legal persons.
Confidentiality of electronic communications ensures that information exchanged between
parties and the external elements of such communication, including when the information
has been sent, from where, to whom, is not to be revealed to anyone other than to the parties
involved in a communication. The principle of confidentiality should apply to current and
future means of communication, including calls, internet access, instant messaging
applications, e-mail, internet phone calls and personal messaging provided through social
media." [1](page 6, article 7)
