Public Disclosure of Private Facts
- Protects the sanctity of the “right to be let alone”
- Individual must prove three elements:
1. Intruder intended to intrude
2. Reasonable expectation of privacy under circumstances
3. Intrusion is substantial and therefore highly offensive to a reasonable person
Intrusion upon seclusion
Prohibits making a false connection between a person and illegal, immoral or embarrassing activity that causes injury to the subject individual
- Similar to private facts
False Light
Right of publicity resembles a property right in one’s own personality because it protects the subject individual’s right to control the commercial exploitation of their own personal endorsement
Appropriation
