Privacy is a right guaranteed by the Constitution, involving an individual's right to autonomy. The scope of privacy is broad, and it covers both personal information, such as ADA and medical information, financial and credit history, and employment records, and personal decisions, such as family choices. The expansion of communication technology, such as email and computer monitoring and electronic background checks, has caused significant conflicts with the right to informational privacy. Legislation has been passed to address these conflicts, such as the HIPAA privacy rule, which establishes standards for the protection of certain health information, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which ensures privacy in consumer reports.
