Privacy torts generally fall into four categories:
Appropriation of identity, or invasion of the right of publicity, is committed by making commercial use of plaintiff's identity without plaintiff's permission.
Invasion of solitude or seclusion, or intrusion, is committed by intentionally invading plaintiff's private space in an offensive manner.
Public disclosure is committed by bringing to public attention private facts about plaintiff, the disclosure of which would be offensive to the reasonable person in plaintiff's shoes.
False light is committed by publishing false, embarrassing although not necessarily defamatory, statements about plaintiff.
In addition, the California Constitution guarantees a right of privacy, the violation of which may be actionable. In addition, violating various statutes, such as the Privacy Act, which prohibits the clandestine recording of confidential conversations, may give rise to a cause of action for invasion of privacy.
The following are cases in which the court was concerned with the right of privacy. Since claims frequently overlap, the cases have not been separated according to which privacy right was allegedly violated.
