Let's see how does Wikipedia describe Physical privacy.
Physical privacy could be defined as preventing "intrusions into one's physical space or solitude"[3] This would include such concerns as:
preventing intimate acts or one's body from being seen by others for the purpose of modesty; apart from being dressed this can be achieved by walls, fences, privacy screens, cathedral glass, partitions between urinals, by being far away from others, on a bed by a bed sheet or a blanket, when changing clothes by a towel, etc.; to what extent these measures also prevent acts being heard varies
video, as aptly named graphics, or intimate acts, behaviors or body part
preventing unwelcome searching of one's personal possessions
preventing unauthorized access to one's home or vehicle
medical privacy, the right to make fundamental medical decisions without governmental coercion or third party review, most widely applied to questions of contraception
An example of the legal basis for the right to physical privacy would be the US Fourth Amendment, which guarantees "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures",[4]. Most countries have laws regarding trespassing and property rights also determine the right of physical privacy.
Physical privacy may be a matter of cultural sensitivity, personal dignity, or shyness. There may also be concerns about safety, if for example one has concerns about being the victim of crime or stalking.
