Privacy

The right and practical ability of a person to control the collection, use, and disclosure of information about themselves, their body, their activities, and their relationships. For accessibility, privacy intersects with disability in specific ways: assistive-technology usage reveals disability, biometric and behavioural AI systems can infer disability without consent, medical data is particularly sensitive, and many accommodation processes require disclosure that then persists in institutional records. Disability-inclusive privacy design must address not only data minimisation and consent, but also contextual integrity — whether information flows match the norms of the setting in which it was disclosed.
