社會背景及議題之重要性（Social Background and Importance of the Issues）：
在資通訊科技急劇發展下，政府和企業已積極採用這些技術以用於執法、醫療方案、商業促銷及產品研發等。雖然這些科技的應用可促進這些活動，但無可避免產生對個人隱私權侵害的風險，並引發法律及行政管制能在提供隱私保護的同時不要限制這些科技帶來的益處。資訊隱私權法的法律體系，並非僅限於保護個人資料的行政法，還包括其憲法基礎、民事保障如侵權法、契約法、財產法和刑事程序保障。
本課程希望對各國隱私權法及重要個別領域之最新發展，提供廣博而具深度的視野，以為未來在公或私領域工作的學生作好準備。
