Briefly describe the concept of the right of privacy and information privacy


A broad definition of the right of privacy is "the right to be left alone—the most comprehensive of rights, and the right most valued by a free people" (Justice Louis Brandeis, dissenting in Olmstead v. U.S., 1928). Another concept of privacy that is particularly useful in discussing the impact of IT on privacy is the term information privacy, first coined by Roger Clark (Director, Australian Privacy Foundation). Information privacy is the combination of communications privacy (the ability to communicate with others without those communications being monitored by other persons or organizations) and data privacy ( the ability to limit access to one's personal data by other individuals and organizations—to be able to exercise a substantial degree of control over that data and its use).
