privilege claims

Privilege claims are assertions made by individuals or organizations that certain information or communications should be kept confidential and protected from disclosure, typically because sharing them could harm interests like privacy, security, or legal rights. Common examples include attorney-client privilege, where communications with a lawyer are protected, or doctor-patient privilege. These claims are used in legal contexts to prevent evidence from being shared in court, ensuring sensitive information remains confidential. Essentially, privilege claims highlight that certain information is legally or ethically protected from being disclosed without consent.
