Concerns that privacy as the right to be let alone is too broad have led some to conclude that a better understanding of privacy focuses on privacy as involving the control of personal information. From this perspective, the clearest case of an invasion of privacy occurs when others come to know personal information about us as when a stranger reads your e-mail or eavesdrops on a personal conversation But, again, this might be too broad an understanding if we are to claim a right of privacy. Surely there are many occasions when others, particularly within an employment context, can legitimately know even personal information about us.
