Prosser's Privacy Torts

Prosser's Privacy Torts are a set of legal concepts that protect individuals from unwarranted intrusions into their personal lives. There are four main types: 1. **Intrusion upon seclusion**: Unauthorized prying into someone's private affairs. 2. **Public disclosure of private facts**: Revealing personal information that is not public interest. 3. **False light**: Presenting someone in a misleading way that could harm their reputation. 4. **Appropriation**: Using someone's likeness or name for commercial benefit without permission. These torts guard against violations of personal privacy and dignity.
