Privacy Wiki

This is the coolest Wiki dedicated to Privacy!

(but not the only one)

This Wiki is organized around the Solove Taxonomy which breaks privacy into four broad categories ( information processing, information dissemination, collection, and invasion) and sixteen individual harms (or privacy violations). It currently includes United States Federal Laws as well as over three hundred State Laws. In addition to laws and regulations, you can find copious news stories of every type of privacy harm under the taxonomy.

Solove Taxonomy

Daniel Solove's taxonomy is the most comprehensive framework for privacy. His framework derived four categories of privacy harms:

INFORMATION PROCESSING	INFORMATION DISSEMINATION	COLLECTION	INVASION
Aggregation	Breach of Confidentiality	Surveillance	Intrusion
Insecurity	Disclosure	Interrogation	Decisional Interference
Identification	Exposure
Secondary Use	Increased Accessibility
Exclusion	Blackmail
	Appropriation
	Distortion

Volunteer Editors

While most state laws that touch on privacy issues are already in the Wiki, volunteers will keep the states current.

To learn more about how to join the Privacy Wiki as State Editors, please reach out to our Chief Legal Editor. We are excited to see you as a Legal State Editor in the Wiki!

We hope to expand into other jurisdictions (such as the EU) in the near future!
