Notes
It is common for a person to give up a certain amount of personal data in exchange for education, employment, products, services, memberships, travel and so forth. In these cases, individuals retain a reasonable expectation of privacy. For example, a customer who rents a hotel room may reasonably expect that there are no cameras recording them in the room whatever the terms of service of the hotel may state.Privacy rights may be reasonably balanced with other rights and freedoms. For example, a photographer may have artistic freedom to take photos in public. Likewise, privacy rights are often limited by practical considerations such as the need for banks to know about your identity, financial history and employment before giving you a mortgage.The types of personal data above are illustrative. Each privacy regulation, rule or standard has its own scope which doesn't always include everything above.Overview: Personal Data Types | ||
