Privacy Invasion

Privacy invasion refers to the violation of an individual’s right to control their personal information and maintain confidentiality. It occurs when someone unwarrantedly accesses, uses, or discloses sensitive or private data without consent. This can happen through various means, including surveillance, hacking, data breaches, or intrusive marketing practices. Privacy invasion undermines personal autonomy and can lead to identity theft, emotional distress, and a loss of trust in both individuals and institutions. It highlights the importance of data protection laws and ethical standards in safeguarding personal privacy in an increasingly digital world.
