Privacy issues are implicated in a wide range of activities in both our personal and public lives.

Our concept of Privacy includes

• Control of information concerning our personal life
• Freedom from intrusion upon one's seclusion
• Limits on publicity that places one in a false light
• Prevention of identity theft, and the theft of one's name or likeness
• Right to keep personal information confidential

General Privacy Principles for Public and Private Sectors

• Personal information should be acquired, disclosed, and used only in ways that respect and individual's privacy.
• Personal information should not be improperly altered or destroyed.
• Personal information should be accurate, timely, complete, and relevant to the purpose for which it is provided and used.
