• Intrusion on Seclusion occurs when someone physically invades your private space either physically or with a video camera or other recording device.
• Public Disclosure of Private Facts occurs when someone releases your personal information, such as medical or financial records, without authorization and the disclosure is outrageous to a public sense of decency.
