those who are gods to themselves (who consider themselves their gods)
I suppose it's about those who treat themselves as their only gods.

Dita, can you provide the context in which you've met the phrase? At least, the general context, descriptively.

I can't see how it may be connected to privacy. May it be anyhow related to religious views? Say, an Islamic position to peope of other faiths?

Note from asker:
| Thank you Kirill. To be honest I don't understand why this latin sentence is in the document. I don't see the relation, the document is about privacy. Again Thanks |
| The document is about training material of the privacy policy in a company. How the personal data should be treated. |

: but why "those", when "ipsum" and "quid" are singular? Unfortunately the sentence is too obscure... we need more context :(

Hello Flavio :) Yes, I changed it to plural in my translation, I supposed it sounded more natural in English. And you're right, more context is needed. I just wonder may it be related to non-Muslims, for instance?
