| (I) The right of an entity (normally a person), acting in its own
behalf, to determine the degree to which it will interact with its
environment, including the degree to which the entity is willing
to share information about itself with others. (See: anonymity.)
(O) "The right of individuals to control or influence what
information related to them may be collected and stored and by
whom and to whom that information may be disclosed." [I7498 Part
2]
(D) ISDs SHOULD NOT use this term as a synonym for "data
confidentiality" or "data confidentiality service", which are
different concepts. Privacy is a reason for security rather than a
kind of security. For example, a system that stores personal data
needs to protect the data to prevent harm, embarrassment,
inconvenience, or unfairness to any person about whom data is
maintained, and to protect the person's privacy. For that reason,
the system may need to provide data confidentiality service.
