Privacy is one of the important personality rights of citizens, and it is the right that citizens enjoy to control personal information, private activities and private fields. Any act of peeping, stealing other people's privacy places, or eavesdropping or spreading other people's privacy is an infringement of other people's personality rights and will cause different degrees of mental harm to the infringed. If it is an adult, if the two parties fail to negotiate, they can go to court to sue their parents for violating privacy.
The characteristics of the right to privacy are as follows:
1. The subject of privacy can only be citizens, that is, natural persons, excluding the secrets of legal persons, especially corporate legal persons (actually business secrets). Trade secrets do not have the essential attributes of privacy such as public interests, and have nothing to do with group interests.
2. The object of privacy includes personal activities, personal information and personal fields.
3. According to the characteristics of the right to privacy and the general theory of domestic and foreign scholars, the right to privacy has the following four rights:
(1) Privacy. The right to privacy refers to the right of the right subject to conceal his privacy from others.
(2) the right to privacy. Privacy refers to the right of natural persons to actively use their privacy to meet their spiritual and material needs.
(3) the right to maintain privacy. The right to privacy means that the privacy subject enjoys his own right to privacy and maintains its inviolability. When it is illegally infringed, it can seek public and private relief.
