Privacy is not always obviously being attained though, otherwise there would
be no privacy. It can also arise from understanding, or lack of
understanding. Seeing all but not perceiving can be problematic when
attempting to gain a clear understanding - knowledge probably helps, but
that would not be a complete answer.
In a similar fashion, understanding itself, is not always acknowledged,
otherwise privacy would not be attained by the recipient. But I wander too
broadly into the philosophical.
I suppose those methods were an early application of data protection by
groups.
A simple example:-
Calcutt, David. Committee on Privacy and Related Matters 01/06/1990 Page ii.
"I give the fight up: let there be an end, A privacy, an obscure nook for
me. I want to be forgotten even by God." Paracelsus. Robert Browning"
Does Calcutt mean:
he gives up;
provides that quotation as a definition of privacy;
as a warning to specific groups privacy threatens;
as something to fill the blank back of a title page;
or one of the other meanings it is possible to extract from that quotation
when reconsidered from within the broader text of the report?
Consider the deaf and sign language, does every viewer of a conversation
know exactly what is signed?
Group privacy is protected in many ways, and no doubt will continue to
develop to provide a level of protection perceived as necessary by different
groups within the environment which they operate.
