Hi UmanitRians,I'm an UMA lurker. That being said, the discussion around privacy is something of great interest to me and I couldn't resist chiming in.Dictionary definitions, such as the dictionary.com definition below, (not that I'm totally in agreement with these definitions) all seem to revolve around privacy being a state (this part I do agree with) and legislation from various jurisdictions provide requirements to achieve this state (without providing a definition of privacy).For example, Canada's two pieces of privacy legislation (Privacy Act and Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)) basically specify what must be achieved regarding the collection, storage, use and disposal of Personally Identifiable Information (as well as defining what PII is) including what and where consent is required.I would suggest that defining privacy without defining the requirements (including consent) for achieving it would be negligent and doing a disservice to UMA.My two cents,Ken1. the state of being apart from other people orconcealed from their view; solitude; seclusion: (Please leave the room and give me some privacy.)2. the state of being free from unwanted or undue intrusion or disturbance in one's private life or affairs; freedom to be let alone: (Tourists must respect the tribe’s privacy. Those who wish to smoke can do so in the privacy of their own homes.) See also invasion of privacy.3. freedom from damaging publicity, public scrutiny,secret surveillance, or unauthorized disclosure ofone’s personal data or information, as by agovernment, corporation, or individual: (Ordinary citizens have a qualified right to privacy. There is so much information about us online that personal privacy may be a thing of the past.)4. the state of being concealed; secrecy: (Before he told us of his plans, he insisted on total privacy.)--

(I happen to have been doing a lot of writing and presenting along those lines in various forms myself lately, and others of us such as Jon Neiditz have as well.)On Tue, Feb 2, 2016 at 9:07 AM, arr@worldknowledgebank.com <arr@worldknowledgebank.com> wrote:Is there an uma definition of privacy?
