Welcome

“Privacy (in Latin privatus ‘separated from the rest, deprived of sth, esp. office, participation in the government’, from privo ‘to deprive’) is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves and thereby reveal themselves selectively.”

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
