Privacy Tort

A privacy tort is a legal wrong that occurs when someone's personal privacy is violated in a way that harms them. This can include actions like invading someone’s private space, disclosing their private information without permission, spying on them, or misusing their personal data. If someone’s privacy is intruded upon unfairly, they may have the right to seek legal compensation. Privacy torts help protect individuals’ personal boundaries and control over their private information, maintaining respect for personal dignity and autonomy.
