Abstract

The goal of this thesis is to explore the legal foundations of privacy and analyze the ways in which societal and technological advancements have influenced the progression of privacy rights. With regard to the significant breadth of privacy issues, the scope of this thesis is narrowed to primarily focus on the informational aspects of privacy along with some analysis of physical seclusion as it relates to the confidentiality of the details of one’s personal life.
