With the technological rise and both the development of digital technologies and the daily dynamics of legal relations; the concept of „legal personality“ has not only not lost its significance; but on the contrary; gained a meaning in a completely new and expanded context. The legal personality of individuals has managed to enrich its meaning; refracted through the prism of the modern and the new; expanding its interpretation to include the modern definition of „personal data“ as a mean for the legal individualization of the individuals. This publication aims to examine the concept of the legal personality of the individuals and its main characteristics; while presenting the contemporary view on the context of the same; including personal data as a mean of legal individualization; the protection of these data and the role of the digital technologies in all these processes.
