Abstract

The article provides an outline of the ontological interpretation of informational privacy based on information ethics (Floridi [forthcoming-b]). It is part of a larger project of research, in which I have developed the foundations of ideas presented here (Floridi [forthcoming-c]) and their consequences (Floridi [forthcoming-a])
