We are living in an age of surveillance, and it has never been more important for individuals to have the knowledge and tools to defend their privacy. Understanding what constitutes a legal breach of privacy empowers people to take action.
Privacy law is complex, so Digital Rights Watch has developed two resources to help. Written in plain English, they are designed for both legal professionals and those without legal training. The Privacy Law Casebook compiles key cases that have established important precedents in privacy law and may shape how the new privacy tort is interpreted by courts. The Privacy Law Legislative Cheatsheet uses a flowchart structure to help lawyers quickly identify which body of privacy legislation applies to their issue and which sections are most relevant.
