Summary: The right to privacy is often defined as the right of the individual to not be pestered and to not have his personal information collected, used or disclosed without his consent. Furthermore, this right to privacy has always been considered an attribute intrinsic to natural persons, which may not be claimed by any business or organization. With deregulation and technological advances, the question of protecting privacy and personal information is arousing increasing interest and concern among Canadians.
