>Article 12

>No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.



That allows for interference with someones privacy.

Basically, interference of privacy based on reason or system is allowed.

It does give you the right to not be subjected to interference of your privacy from random choice or personal whim is not.

According to the article, that right has not been broken.

Moreover, you do not have a right to privacy.

Rather, you have a the right to not have your privacy arbitrarily interfered with.

This is a pretty important distinction.
