The modern-day legal notion of privacy began in the 1960s with a taxonomy worked out by the late William Prosser, dean of the University of California-Berkeley law school. Today, the tort of privacy is manifest in four distinct ways:

b) Public disclosure of embarrassing private facts.
c) Publicity that places a person in a false light.
d) What's the fourth way?
