The Right to Data Protection as a Fundamental Right – Estonian perspective.
The first sentence in Article 15(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union provides as follows: ‘Given the principle of subsidiarity, the provisions of the Charter are intended for the institutions, bodies and agencies of the Union and for the Member States only in the event of the application of Union law’.

The Constitution of the Republic of Estonia states that circumscription of rights and freedoms must be necessary in a democratic society and may not distort the nature of the rights and freedoms circumscribed.

If one adopts this perspective, the Ombudsman will appear if not hostile to democracy, then at least as a counter-force.
