It refers to the interference in one's personal life without the consent of the receiver. Interference or intrusion in one's sensitive matters without the consent of the receiver invades the privacy of that individual and hence is undesirable and unethical. Prior permission and authorization is necessary to use one's proprietary data, personal records, highly personal information etc.
Example:
- Asking about age, martial status and income of an individual in an interview or survey
- Asking about personal phone number of the respondent.
- Disclosing confidential information about the person without his consent.
