The tort of invasion of privacy is meant to protect an individual's right to privacy and solitude, and prevent unwarranted public exposure. This includes protecting personal information and preventing intrusion upon one's private affairs. It does not encourage public exposure of private facts, allow government tapping of telephone conversations, criminalize the use of a person's name without permission, or protect the publication of "false light" stories.
