Personal Privacy
Most people have a strong sense of privacy in relation to
the exposure of their body to others. This is an aspect of
personal modesty. A person will go to extreme lengths to
protect this personal modesty, the main way being the wearing
of clothes. Other ways include erection of
use of cathedral glass, partitions, by maintaining a distance,
beside other ways. People who go to those lengths expect that
their privacy will be respected by others. At the same time,
people are prepared to expose themselves in acts of
intimacy, but these are confined to exposure in circumstances
and of persons of their choosing. Even a discussion of those
circumstances is regarded as intrusive and typically
unwelcome.

or public expectation of, privacy in the collection and
sharing of data about one's self. Privacy concerns exist

the issue is who is given access to information. Other
issues include whether an individual has any
ownership rights to data about them, and/or the right
to view, verify, and challenge that information.

Spiritual and Intellectual
The earliest legislative development of privacy rights began
under British common law, which protected "only the physical
interference of life and property." Its development from then on
became "one of the most significant chapters in the history of
privacy law."Privacy rights gradually expanded to include a
"recognition of man's spiritual nature, of his feelings and his
intellect." Eventually, the scope of those rights broadened even
further to include a basic "right to be let alone", and the former
definition of "property" would then comprise "every form of
possession -- intangible, as well as tangible." By the late 19th
century, interest in a "right to privacy" grew as a response to the
growth of print media, especially newspapers
