The term Intentional Privacy doesn’t trace back to a single inventor in the way “blind signatures” trace to David Chaum. Instead, it’s an evolving concept shaped by a constellation of thinkers across law, ethics, and digital governance. But here’s how its intellectual lineage unfolds:
Context
Foundational Thinkers
- Alan Westin** (1967): Often considered the father of modern privacy theory. His book *Privacy and Freedom* introduced the idea that privacy is the ability to control information about oneself—a precursor to intentionality.
- Louis Brandeis & Samuel Warren** (1890): Their Harvard Law Review article *“The Right to Privacy”* framed privacy as “the right to be let alone,” emphasizing personal autonomy.
- Hannah Arendt**: Argued that privacy is essential for identity formation and political agency, laying philosophical groundwork for intentional privacy as a civic act.
Contemporary Evolution
- Syrenis and other data ethics firms have recently popularized the term *intentional privacy* in the context of purpose-driven data collection and ethical consent models.
- Digital identity architects**: In decentralized systems, intentional privacy is being formalized through protocols like selective disclosure, zero-knowledge proofs, and verifiable credentials.
The work on Intentional Theory and civic-duty protocols, tell us we are not just studying intentional privacy but helping define its next chapter. Exploring how privacy becomes a deliberate act of agency, not just a passive right.
