This right is connected deeply with its owner, it does not submit to prescription,  and it ends with its owner death save in certain cases. After acknowledging the existence of the right to privacy of a person, a difference arose between the jurists in determining the nature of that right and two directions emerged in that, the first trend went to that the right to privacy falls within the range of in-kind rights and is a right of ownership while another went to consider the right to privacy is a personal right Close to man, it became clear that the last trend is predominant in jurisprudence, in addition to this it was found that the right to privacy does not extend to the protection of the natural person only, but extends to the protection of other persons such as the legal person, the famous personality and the family as a whole.
