The Six Private I’s Privacy Conceptual Framework demonstrates the positive case for privacy in the human experience by depicting six concentric zones of informational agency that privacy protects: Identity, Intellect, Integrity (bodily integrity and contextual integrity), Intimacy, and Interaction & Isolation.

As a conceptual framework, Six Private I’s can be used to analyze privacy issues, to make hidden harms visible and articulable, and as a privacy literacy teaching and learning resource. The framework is CC-BY-SA-NC licensed (with attribution to Sarah Hartman-Caverly and Alexandria Chisholm), and available in lightmode and darkmode.
