What is private information?

“Private information” can be broken down into several points and defined in terms of the Data Protection Act 1998. 

Data: Any information that can be processed through an automatic system or recorded system is “data”



Personal data: This refers to any information or a set of information that can be associated with an individual.



Sensitive data: Materials including anything regarding the ethnic origin, sexual life, religious beliefs, health, or political opinions of an individual is classified as “sensitive data” If a person or organisation publishes private information in the public domain, then misuse of private information can be happen and the courts may rule that it has been misused. A well-known example of this is the publishing of a photo of JK Rowling’s new-born son in 2004, which resulted in a landmark Court of Appeal ruling establishing that the law protects the children of celebrities from the publication of unauthorised photographs unless their parents have exposed them to publicity.
