Intrusion upon Seclusion Doctrine

The Intrusion upon Seclusion Doctrine is a legal principle that protects individuals from unauthorized interference in their private life. It occurs when someone intentionally invades another person's personal space or privacy, such as through surveillance, eavesdropping, or accessing private information without consent. To be actionable, this intrusion must be considered highly offensive to a reasonable person. Essentially, it ensures that people have the right to be left alone in their private affairs without unwarranted scrutiny or intrusion from others, maintaining the respect for individual privacy rights.
