PRIVACY
What is Privacy?
Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to
seclude themselves or information about themselves and thereby reveal
themselves selectively. The boundaries and content of what is
considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share
basic common themes. Privacy is sometimes related to anonymity, the
wish to remain unnoticed or unidentified in the public realm. When
something is private to a person, it usually means there is something
within them that is considered inherently special or personally
sensitive. The degree to which private information is exposed
therefore depends on how the public will receive this information,
which differs between places and over time. Privacy can be seen as an
aspect of security — one in which trade-offs between the interests of
one group and another can become particularly clear.

Policy?
A policy is a deliberate plan of action to guide
decisions and achieve rational outcome(s). The term may apply to
government, private sector organizations and groups, and individuals.
Presidential executive orders, corporate privacy policies, and
parliamentary rules of order are all examples of policy. Policy
differs from rules or law. While law can compel or prohibit behaviors
(e.g. a law requiring the payment of taxes on income) policy merely
guides actions toward those that are most likely to achieve a desired
outcome.
Policy or policy study may also refer to the process of making
important organizational decisions, including the identification of
different alternatives such as programs or spending priorities, and
choosing among them on the basis of the impact they will have.
Policies can be understood as political, management, financial, and
administrative mechanisms arranged to reach explicit goals.
