		Privacy is the expectation that confidential personal information disclosed in a private place will not be disclosed to third parties, when that disclosure would cause either embarrassment or emotional distress to a person of reasonable sensitivities.
		Privacy can be discussed in two different directions: the nature of the right and the source of the right (e.g., case law, statute, Constitution).
		The privacy issue arises in a different context when the government attempts to limit the choices of individuals in various personal areas, such as use of contraception or abortion, who to marry, and the right to chose how to rear and educate their children.

	Privacy of E-Mail in the USA
		The expectation of privacy in a conversation is not lost entirely because the privacy of part of it is violated.
		Privacy of e-mail was given a statutory basis in 1986 with the passage of the ECPA that provided both criminal and civil penalties for interception of e-mail during transmission (in 18 U.S.C. § 2510-21) and access to e-mail during storage (in 18 U.S.C. § 2701-11).

		As stated in the complaint, a key question for the court will be whether obtaining personal motor vehicle information for resale is allowed even when the party buying it for resale intends to use it for a purpose specifically authorized in the federal act, such as research activities and court proceedings.
		Marketers were allowed to use the information as long as states gave licensed drivers and vehicle owners the opportunity to opt out if they wanted their personal data kept confidential, according to the lawsuits.

	Video surveillance: Invasion of privacy or reasonable response to misconduct? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Davis Wire Industries Ltd., which we reported in the January 1998 issue of FOCUS (See "Videotaped evidence and employee privacy rights" on our Publications page.) This was a wrongful dismissal action involving a production foreman with 20 years of service who was terminated after having been caught sleeping on the job and lying about it.
		At trial, Richardson's lawyer sought to bar the admission into evidence of the videotape, on the grounds that the surveillance was an invasion of privacy both generally and under the province's Privacy Act, a statute which allows a person who suffers a wilful invasion of privacy to sue in court.
		Turning to the arguments based on privacy, the judge stated that Richardson could have had no reasonable expectation of privacy, given that he was sleeping on company time, on company property, in circumstances where he could expect to be contacted if he were needed.

	WorldNetDaily: Is technology the problem?
		Technology inevitably becomes the focus of most discussions about privacy because it is the means by which individuals and institutions find out what they want about us.
		Privacy is being eroded because of cheap information, ignorance about new technology, technological glitches and more intrusive surveillance.
		In fact, until more people are willing to show by their actions – by the way they live, communicate and budget their money – that they value their privacy, no reforms in government, or in business, or in law enforcement, are likely to do much good.
