Right to privacy means that the right to personal autonomy where one personal information is protected from public scrutiny. It means that people have the right to be alone and do certain activities which they like until it does not effect or or disturb others. There is no one particular statutory law to protect right to privacy but there are different laws to protect these right.

There are 1,3,4,5 and 9th amendment which will protect people privacy.

In the case of Stanley vs Georgia court gave a judgement that people have the right to watch what ever they want where the state has no business in telling what they should do when they were alone.

Similarly in the case of Roe vs Wade and Griswold vs Connecticut the court gave a similar judgement that state have no right to tell people what to do when they were alone in their home.
