Private and confidential


If there is a breach of privacy, confidentiality or secrecy, there may not be a remedy.

PRIVACY, confidentiality and secrecy are words commonly encountered. In a way, they mean the same thing. Yet these words do not completely refer to one and the same thing at all times. There is a difference in the concept as well as the context in which the words are used. On some occasions, they are used in a legal sense and have legal implications, which can be serious.
