A general definition of Privacy would be the right to determine whether, when, how and to whom, one's personal or business information is to be revealed, but nowadays this fundamental right is becoming at the same time more precious but very difficult to preserve.
The delineation of the public and private speheres and our right to select where we express ourselves has evaporated, moreover the new generations has no longer expectation that the private activity should remain so. Many cultures have never understood this simple idea to be "alone to your own", but now we are giving away our privacy voluntarily simply clicking or saying yes when a pop up appear.
Our lives are surrounded of vast quantities of data that we have willingly given to the public, health data, sport performances, personal pics, networks, everything is running in the web in a sort of millenial narcissism.
And it's impossible to prevent this loss of personal information, every app ask this in order to be installed, any loyalty card need this trade in order to give back to you discounts or bonuses, cookie should be active in order to access to full content and so on.
Governments are fighting in order to define new strict regulations, but there is no burocracy able to prevent the voluntary transfer of data, they can only supervise the security of this informations and the limits in time for this storage.
Looking at the future a reflection will become more than necessary as AI improves. We already live in a world where Google knows what we're looking for on the web before we finish our sentences.
And finally the power of IOT will automatically keep track of informations from the physical world with a collection of "in context" data.
The privacy's professional will be one of the more requested practitioner in the future, data manipulation, stolen identities, blackmails some of the most frequent crimes.
We need to become more and more aware of these risks, personal data have an incredible value, and we need to preserve them as we do for money, documents or cars.
Our life is taking advantage of this new era, but the trade should be fair.
