privacy torts
Privacy torts are legal claims that protect individuals from violations of their personal privacy. There are four main types: 1. **Intrusion upon seclusion**: Unlawfully invading someone's private space or affairs. 2. **Public disclosure of private facts**: Releasing personal information that is not public and would offend a reasonable person. 3. **False light**: Presenting someone in a misleading way that could harm their reputation. 4. **Appropriation of name or likeness**: Using someone’s identity or persona for commercial gain without permission. These torts help individuals seek redress when their privacy is unjustly compromised.
