How Do Technical and Legal Definitions of Privacy Differ?

There's a notable divergence between technical and legal definitions of privacy, technical definitions are usually precise and mathematically rigorous, focusing on specific aspects of data security and privacy preservation. In contrast, legal definitions tend to be broader and more flexible, emphasising the protection of individual rights and societal values. This gap poses challenges in applying legal privacy standards to technical systems, as the nuanced and often complex nature of technology might not align neatly with legal frameworks. Bridging this gap requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining the precision of technical solutions with the broader context and adaptability of legal standards to ensure effective privacy protection.
