Understanding Privacy is a 2008 book on privacy by Daniel J. Solove. The book gives a modern history of the concept of privacy particularly as it is discussed by philosophers and legal theorists. It provides a framework of many people's concept of privacy and the author's own theory of the outline of what privacy covers.
The book was reviewed by various commentators. [1] [2] [3]
One reviewer said the book "is a vital text; a must read for all who follow, or engage in, privacy debates." [4]
Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively.
Information privacy is the relationship between the collection and dissemination of data, technology, the public expectation of privacy, and the legal and political issues surrounding them. It is also known as data privacy or data protection.
Transparency, as used in science, engineering, business, the humanities and in other social contexts, is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed. Transparency implies openness, communication, and accountability.

Privacy by design is an approach to systems engineering initially developed by Ann Cavoukian and formalized in a joint report on privacy-enhancing technologies by a joint team of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario (Canada), the Dutch Data Protection Authority, and the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research in 1995. The privacy by design framework was published in 2009 and adopted by the International Assembly of Privacy Commissioners and Data Protection Authorities in 2010. Privacy by design calls for privacy to be taken into account throughout the whole engineering process. The concept is an example of value sensitive design, i.e., taking human values into account in a well-defined manner throughout the process.
