- video, of aptly named graphic, or intimate, acts, behaviors or body parts
- preventing unwelcome searching of one's personal possessions
- preventing unauthorized access to one's home or vehicle
- medical privacy, the right to make fundamental medical decisions without governmental coercion or third party review, most widely applied to questions of contraception
