= Privacy Issues in Canadian Universities = Privacy is a noun that may be defined as, the state of being apart from other people or concealed from their view; solitude; seclusion or, the state of being free from unwanted or undue intrusion or disturbance in one's private life or affairs; freedom to be let alone. With advancements in the technological world, privacy is becoming violated frequently and in several ways.

Etymology
Derived from the Old French term privauté, in the 1400's this term would be used to describe "a secret, secret deed; solitude, privacy". In the late 14th century, Privatie was used to describe a secret or mystery of any sort. In the 1590's, privacy could be defined as, "a private matter, a secret". It's meaning then developed into a form of seclusion which derived from the word private in the year, 1600. In 1814, "state of freedom from intrusion" would be used to define privacy. This definition has remained stagnant over the years with a few alterations and additions.

York University's Privacy Debate
An issue featured in the York University's school newspaper known as the Excalibur, explained that several cameras located on the university's campus did not comply with Canadian privacy law. Each camera on campus is required to have a corresponding sign informing individuals that they are on camera. However, many students in a fourth year communications class analyzed the cameras around the campus and noted that most of them do not have the proper signage associated with them. According to the Canadian privacy act, an individual has a right to know if the area they have entered in is being surveilled.
