!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is the ability of an individual or group to keep their lives and personal affairs out of public view, or to control the flow of information about themselves.[3]
[{$pagename}] is distinct and separate from [Security].
[{$pagename}] implies [Confidentiality] which implies [Security] and while [security] can exist without [privacy], [privacy] cannot exist without [security].
[{$pagename}] is sometimes related to [anonymity] although it is often most highly valued by people who are publicly known. [{$pagename}] can be seen as an aspect of security—one in which [trade-offs between the interests of one group and another can become particularly clear|IDM The Manager Dilemma] vs [IDM The User Dilemma|IDM The User Dilemma]
!! Simple Philosophies
''“right to be left alone.”'' - United States Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
''"There’s a simple philosophy around [privacy] — a system should only know as much about you as it needs to for that application."'' [Nymi|https://www.nymi.com/|target='_blank'] founder Karl Martin
''"[Privacy], a core American value, is not a partisan thing. Democrats fight for it and Republicans fight for it too, maybe even more. So I am very shocked that the Republican party has managed to suggest that it should be trashed; if anyone follows up on this direction, there will be a massive pushback – and there must be a massive pushback!"'' [Tim Berners-Lee]
''"When it comes to [privacy] and [accountability], people always demand the former for themselves and the latter for everyone else."''
-Peltaire
''“the desire by each of us for physical space where we can be free of interruption, intrusion, embarrassment, or accountability and the attempt to control the time and manner of disclosures of personal information about ourselves.”'' - Robert Ellis Smith, editor of the Privacy Journal

!! [{$pagename}] is a fundamental human right[4]
Privacy is a fundamental human right recognized in the [Universal Declaration of Human Rights], the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and in many other international and regional treaties.
[{$pagename}] underpins human dignity and other key values such as freedom of association and freedom of speech. [{$pagename}] has become one of the most important human rights issues of the modern age.

* [ISO/IEC 2382|ISO 2382] - Freedom from intrusion into the private life or affairs of an individual when that intrusion results from undue or illegal gathering and use of [data] about that [individual].
* [ISO 7498|ISO 7498] - The right of [individuals] to control or influence what [information|data] related to them may be collected and stored and by whom and to whom that [information|data] may be [disclosed|Disclosure].

!! A [Taxonomy] of [{$pagename}] [1]
Daniel J. Solove, George Washington University Law School, in his paper A [Taxonomy] of [{$pagename}] states:
''Privacy is a concept in disarray. Nobody can articulate what it means. As one commentator has observed, privacy suffers from an embarrassment of meanings.
Privacy is far too vague a concept to guide adjudication and lawmaking, as abstract incantations of the importance of privacy do not fare well when pitted against more concretely-stated countervailing interests.''
He goes on and identifies 16 different activities that could qualify for [{$pagename}].
!! The [Privacy and Economics][2]
The Economics of Privacy is an academic paper which concludes:
''Personal information has both private and commercial value, and often (though not always) exploiting its commercial value entails a reduction in private utility and sometimes even in social welfare overall. Consumers have good reasons to be concerned about unauthorized commercial application of their private information. Use of individual data may subject an individual to a variety of personally costly practices, including price discrimination in retail markets, quantity discrimination in insurance and credit markets, spam, and risk of identity theft, in addition to the disutility inherent in just not knowing who knows what or how they will use it in the future. Personal data — like all information after all — is easily stored, replicated, and transferred, and regulating its acquisition and dissemination is a challenging undertaking for individuals and governments alike.''
