Details Privacy protection has always been considered as an important social issue along with the growth of information society and economy. Curiously enough, however, it is rare that the clear definition of privacy under discussion is provided in the debate on privacy protection. An implicit assumption that privacy protection is identical with personal data protection seems to be made very often. Such a narrow or trivialised understanding of privacy or privacy protection has brought about a new societal challenge: legally and/or technologically appropriate approaches to the protection of privacy or personal data have paradoxically caused and even justified serious invasions of privacy, especially decisional and psychological privacy. This study attempts to investigate the modern-day version of privacy paradox and propose policies to resolve the paradox including establishing organisations' fiduciary responsibility to data subjects.
