IATE Term of the Week: Violation of Privacy

2004

In light of recent controversies regarding surveillance and data protection, the Terminology Coordination Unit has decided to choose “violation of privacy” as the term of the week. More information about the surveillance scandal can be found here and here, and a glossary about data protection can be accessed through this link. If you want to know more about EU activity on data protection legislation, click here.

We invite you to suggest the equivalent terms in the missing EU languages, or alternatives to the existing term in your language if you consider the proposed term inaccurate. Provide your answer with a reliable reference and an accurate definition and/or context if possible.

A terminologist for the language in question will revise your answer and decide whether to validate them. Given the implications of the process, a delay is to be expected.
