Abstract
The right on informational privacy is – at a first glance – not related to the world of work, but rather describes the right of an individual regarding the disclosure and utilization of personal data. Comprehensive and complete informational privacy is an illusion, anyway. The increasing overlapping between private and working life on the one hand and the nowadays use of information technology on the other hand means that the idea of informational privacy needs to be rediscussed. This contribution provides a critical reflection of the concept of informational privacy and attempts to develop a new understanding of the digital economy.
