Indiana University communicates with individuals every day using a multitude of digital and paper methods, but invasion can occur physically as well, and IU manages many physical spaces that serve both public and personal purposes. Invasion infringes directly on the individual, and is a serious privacy harm.
Examples of harmful invasion include:
Invasions into private affairs
Invasive acts that disturb an individual’s tranquility or solitude
Decisional Interference
Entering into an individual’s decisions regarding his or her private affairs.
Unwanted Email
Unwanted communications into an individual’s personal space, including his or her email inbox, is considered an invasion.
Unwanted Phone Calls
Entering into an individual’s personal space by calling his or her personal phone number (especially if it is a mobile phone).
Entering a room without knocking
