This update added to the law Human Dignity and Liberty by defining: Human freedom in Israel as being the right to leave the country and enter it, as well as the right to privacy and intimacy, refrainment from searches relating to one's private property, body and possessions, and avoidance of violations of the privacy of one's speech, writings and notes.

October 2006 Israel established a regulatory authority, the PPA, part of the Ministry of Justice. PPA defined the Privacy Law and associated regulates based on two principles: general right to online privacy and the protection of personal data stored in databases.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.gov.il/en/departments/the_privacy_protection_authority/govil-landing-page |access-date=27 August 2023 |title=The Privacy Protection Authority |website=www.gov.il}}</ref>
