<< Within the context of these socio-cultural and linguistic circumstances, insistence on the right to privacy as "the right to be let alone" indicates a lack of cooperativeness as well as an inability to communicate with others. The right to privacy, understood as “the individual’s right to control the circulation of information concerning him or her", is considered a shameful excess of mistrust in relation both to a cooperative society and to those who collect, store, share, and use personal data. Consequently, the sense of a right to privacy is foreign and less important to Japanese society than it is in Western societies. >>
