Formation of a civil society oriented towards the implementation of European values, as it is impossible to ensure the convention of human rights and freedoms without bringing the current legislation of Ukraine in line with international legal standards. Given the subject matter of the article, the authors analyse the essence of the right to respect for private life in the constitutional provisions of foreign countries. This made it possible to emphasise that ensuring the right to respect for private life is a legal guarantee provided both at the level of international documents and by the relevant provisions of national legislation. In modern realities, the right to respect for private and family life includes the right to data protection, which has been described by various authors as a modern derivative of the right to privacy. It is established that at the legislative level, the right to respect for private life during a search is implemented through a special procedural procedure for its conduct. At the present stage of rethinking the procedural guarantees of ensuring the right to respect for private life, including during a search, the application of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights is of great importance. Based on the results of the analysis, it has been concluded that when deciding whether the right to respect for private life is actually ensured during a search, the following interrelated conditions should be taken into account 1) the existence of an initiated pre-trial investigation; 2) the existence of a general (factual) basis for conducting a search, i.e., sufficient information indicating the possibility of achieving the purpose of a specific procedural action; 3) the existence of a special (legal) basis, i.e., the decision of the investigating judge or court; 4) the existence of a proper entity authorised to execute the decision of the investigating judge or court.
