There is no official IETF working definition for privacy. It is a 
complex term. I agree with Ted that the term is nicely introduced in RFC 
6973 [url: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6973]. Looking for a 
definition for privacy will open a whole range of e.g., scholarly 
definitions. Privacy as control [Westin], is one of them. [url: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy] is actually not a bad primer.
