Abstract
Security and privacy are typically regarded as polymorphic notions. They have a mult
iplicity of meanings, not only across different fields and academic disciplines, but also
from a legal perspective and even specifically as components of European Union (EU) law.
In EU law, they now intersect with an additional (perhaps less contested, but possibly not less elusive)
legal notion: personal data protection.
This paper considers legal conceptualisations of security, privacy and personal data protection and
their interconnections in the EU. Its aim is to provide a basic reference on legal
knowledge for the PRIvacy and Security MirrorS (PRISMS) project
