A Theory of Group Privacy - article published

10 November 2021

Interdisciplinary PhD candidate Anuj Puri, from the Centre for Research into Information, Surveillance and Privacy (CRISP) at the School of Management and the St Andrews and Stirling Graduate Program in Philosophy (SASP), has had his research published in the Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy.

In the article, Anuj argues for recognition of a group right to privacy in order to overcome the limitations of the conventional formulation of privacy which is inadequate to safeguard individual identity and autonomy in the age of Big Data analytics and Covid-19 apps.

The group right to privacy articulated in the article is based on privacy as a social value and seeks to protect an individual's social identity, her interest in informational self-determination and an organised group's interest in privacy.
