Privacy is generally inclusive of personal

Celebrities are not public property
Large number of celebrities have recently
provided reports related to complain of about the
fact how media disturbs their public life. In the
year of 2014, 28% of people confessed the fact
that they were much interested about life event of
various celebrities. Confidentiality is nothing but a
list of action which can be easily used for
protection of personal information [5].
Confidentiality does not protect personal
information because of the fact that is personal.
The information is only protected before the
person disclosing it the particular disclosing the
information is subjected to a particular kind of
obligation of various confidence which is arising as
a result of confidence which arise out of
relationship. Some rare cases of confidentiality are
seen which consist of personal kind of
information. Public domain is known to be a
defense case in which issues of confidentiality
arises [7]. In addition to various kinds of public
domain public interest is also considered to be
never defined in a way. There are some kinds of
difficult in which laws of confidentiality is seen.
Now the thing is clear about the fact about
working of confidentiality when provided
information is true or untrue.
The law which focus on protection of personal
information is mainly evoked by various kinds of
personalities. Libel does not ensure about the fact
of disclosing of personal information because of
the fact that is personal [9]. It does not require
any kind of relationship between the claiming and

related to publication. In so there two kinds of
catches which can be used for protection of
personal information. The first catch is about the
fact that publication can be considered to be false.
Or a situation can be seen in which information
published is true but the defended might not be
able to prove it true [9]. The overriding law
generally a law which can be used for justification
of publication. If anyhow publication is found to
be true, then it does not matter regarding the fact
how the private kind of information is humiliating
[5]. Subject to any kind of confidentiality or no
kind of publication of personal kind of ownership
is found to be true.
When common kind of laws are provided
absolute priority about the truth about the status.

Legislation of data protection is considered to be
comprehensive kind of privacy code. It generally
covers all the vital kind of information which is
kept in computers and any other kind of
structured files [11]. The ultimate effect of
legislation of data protection is introducing of new
statutory which can be again used for unfair use of
various kinds of personal information. In various
kinds of data protection legislation there are
limited amount of defense of public domain. It is
mainly used when in information has been easily
made publicly by making use of results which is
taken by steps taken by the person.

Various celebrities are no way considered to

which become a problem for large number of
celebrities. At present trademarks are used widely
for protecting the names of the movies, names
and lastly characters from any kind of
