I do not think I would agree with your analysis of the definition. I
would read the first 'and' in a disjuntive way. i.e. Determing whether,
when, how, and to whom, one's personal or organizational information is
to be revealed, is entirly separate from secret (or any) surveillance.
The two parts are needed. The second is not enough on its own as it
would not cover the 'peeping tom', personal or official, who never
revealed anything .

Subject: [data-protection] A 21st century definition of privacy.
privacy
Definition
In general, the right to be free from secret surveillance ....
http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/privacy.html
The word
'general' is further refined to mean - applies to everybody.
The item
has existed like this for some time and from the complete entry one is
drawn towards considering the definition being legally determined as a
result of the public surveillance environment and restrictive data
protection regulations rather than any wish to respect peoples privacy.
And it is a view which in many spheres today could not be said to be
lacking or incorrectly interpreted.
For anybody unable to access the
web the whole text, less the further definition links, is reproduced
below.
'In general, the right to be free from secret surveillance and to
determine whether, when, how, and to whom, one's personal or
organizational information is to be revealed. In specific, privacy may
be divided into four categories (1) Physical: restriction on others to
experience a person or situation through one or more of the human
senses; (2) Informational: restriction on searching for or revealing
facts that are unknown or unknowable to others; (3) Decisional:
restriction on interfering in decisions that are exclusive to an entity;
(4) Dispositional: restriction on attempts to know an individual's state
of mind.'
