+DEFINITIONS
+
+privacy - freedom from unauthorized intrusion; state of being let alone and
+able to keep certain esp. personal matters to oneself. (Meriam Webster's
+Dictionary of Law, 1996)
+
+Privacy -the right to be left alone; that is, to be free from unwarranted
+publicity and to live without unwarranted interference by the public in
+matters with which the public is not necessarily concerned. The so-called
+right, founded upon the claim that a man has the right to pass through this
+world, if he wills, without having his picture published, his business
+enterprises discussed, his successful experiments written up for the benefit
+of others, or his eccentricities commented upon either in handbills,
+circulars, catalogues, periodicals, or newspapers; and, necessarily, that
+the things which may not be written and published of him must not be spoken
+of him by his neighbors, whether the comment be favorable or otherwise. The
+theory that everyone has a right to privacy and that the same is a personal
+right growing out of the inviolability of the person. The right to one's
+person may be said to be a right of complete immunity, to be let alone. That
+a person is entitled to relief at law or in equity for an invasion of this
+right, is generally understood to have been first publicly advanced in an
+article entitled, "The Right to Privacy," in 4 Harvard Law Review 193
+(December, 1890) - (Ballentine Law Dictionary, 1969)
+
+Private - affecting or belonging to private individuals, as distinct from
+the public generally. (Black's Law Dictionary, 1990)
+
+right of privacy
+
+1) a general right to privacy: the right of an individual "to be let alone"
+ in the enjoyment of a private life in an increasingly intrusive
+ society. In particular, the right includes freedom from unwanted
+ publication of matters that the public has no right to know concerning an
+ individual's "private life, habits, acts, and relations." Accurate or
+ not, such a publication that subjects one to "mental pain and suffering"
+ is an invasion of the right and actionable in tort.
+
+2) the right to be let alone (sense 1) as an umbrella for a variety of torts
+ for invasion of that right. Usage varies by statute and
+ decision. Typically:
+
+ a. unreasonable intrusion, physical or otherwise, into one's seclusion or
+ private affairs. E.g. housebreaking, wiretapping, opening mail.
+
+ b. public disclosure of intimate facts of private life that are not of
+ public concern at least when they relate to an ordinary private person,
+ as distinct from a public figure.
+
+ c. publicity, though not defamatory, that places one in a false
+ light. E.g. a false fictionalized account that plaintiff had been raped.
+
+ d. a use without consent (appropriation) of one' name or likeness for the
+ user's benefit, e.g. advertising a product. Appropriation may be unwanted
+ publicity, or something much different: depriving an individual (e.g. a
+ celebrity) of an exclusive property, sometimes called the right of
+ publicity.
+
+3) a constitutional right of privacy: a controversial version of the right
+ to be let alone (sense 1) stated to be a constitutional right, as
+ distinct from traditional protections of privacy and personal liberty
+ under specific provisions of the US Constitution, e.g. Third, Fourth,
+ Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments. Usage is not uniform. Typically, the
+ right is described not only in terms of freedom from unwanted intrusions
+ and publicity (sense 1 and 2 ). Increasingly, it is described to include
+ personal autonomy in making critically important decisions over the
+ intimate affairs of life, e.g., begetting, bearing, and rearing of
+ children (contraception, abortion, education): e.g., marital and non
+ marital sexual relationships. With its content in flux, a constitutional
+ right of privacy has attracted a confusing variety of what are intended
+ as endearing epithets, in addition to autonomy; e.g., dignity, identity,
+ individuality, intimacy lifestyle, person hood, selfhood. Some speak of
+ distinctive rights, e.g., lifestyle, and, notably, freedom of intimate
+ association. (Mellinkoff's Dictionary of American Legal Usage, 1992)
+
+Privacy, right of - The right to be let alone; the right of a person to be
+free from unwarranted publicity; and right to live without unwarranted
+interference by the public in matters with which the public is not
+necessarily concerned. Term "right of privacy" is generic term encompassing
+various rights recognized to be inherent in concept of ordered liberty, and
+such right prevents governmental interference in intimate personal
+relationships or activities freedoms of individual to make fundamental
+choices involving himself, his family, and his relationship with
+others. (Black's Law Dictionary, 1990)
+
+Privacy laws - Those federal and state statutes which prohibit an invasion
+of a person's right to be left alone (e.g. to not be photographed in
+private), and also restrict access to personal information (e.g. income tax
+returns, credit reports); and overhearing of private communications
+(e.g. electronic surveillance). Some provide for equitable relief in the
+form of injunction to prevent the invasion of privacy while others
+specifically call for money damages and some provide for both legal and
+equitable protection. (Black's Law Dictionary,1990)
+
+Invasion of Privacy - an unjustified exploitation of one's personality or
+intrusion into one's personal activity, actionable under tort law and
+sometimes under constitutional law: the four types of invasion of privacy in
+tort are: 1) an appropriation, for ones' benefit, of another's name or
+likeness, 2) and offensive, intentional interference with a persons
+seclusion or private affairs, 3) the public disclosure, of an objectionable
+nature, or private information about another, and 4) the use of publicity to
+place another in a false light in the public eye. (Black's Law Dictionary,
+1996)
+
+Breach of privacy - knowingly and without lawful authority: a)intercepting,
+without the consent of the sender or receiver, a message by telephone,
+telegraph, letter or other means of private communications; or b) divulging,
+without the consent of the sender or receiver the existence or contents of
+such message if such person knows that the message was illegally
+intercepted, or if he illegally learned of the message in the course of
+employment with an agency in transmitting it. (Black's Law Dictionary, 1990)
+
+Identity Theft - the misuse of personal identifying information to commit
+various types of financial fraud. (The Limits of Privacy, 1999)
