Privacy generally refers to freedom from intrusion but can vary widely based on personal choice and cultural context
Privacy includes someone’s right to control when and how their personal information is shared. Privacy also involves who information is shared with and how it is used by government, companies, and/or other people.
Online, privacy includes an individual’s right to control over personal data and digital content.
Many online spaces have privacy policies that give information to the public about what individual information is collected and how that individual information will be used. For many services you are encouraged to read these policies and terms of service and agree to them before signing up.
Additionally, people might have different ideas about privacy when it relates to specific types of personal information or certain audiences. As you progress through this module, think about your personal definition of privacy. You will have an opportunity at the end of the module to reflect on this topic.
