Secondary Use is a form of Information Processing privacy harm under the Solove taxonomy.

Secondary Use is defined as using personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was collected.

In the 1940's the U.S. Government used census data, collected originally for the purpose of apportioning congressional districts, to identify and intern those of Japanese descent during the war.[1]
