This translates into "privacy relates to controlling disclosure of
information about a person or organization." Then add the
scope-of-control portion.
There is indeed some fuzziness in the definition of privacy.

There is emerging academic work (not published yet, so I won't cite)
that discusses privacy as what philosophers call an "essentially
contested concept."
If the term is to be a non-technical and vague reference, then let's
stop using it as if it were a technical term. Philosophical, academic
and social terms are fine; the problem is when we use them as if they
pertained to technical specifics.
If we intend the term to have technical utility, it's needs precise and
useful definition.
