In contrast to common belief, privacy is not a one-dimensional, simple and clear goal that is achieved in a black and white manner, but rather a multi-dimensional space with a lot of "grey" areas and external influences from a wide range of stakeholders.

Wherever possible, examples try to show the issue in an actual real world scenario.
