Is privacy a basic right or a privilege?

I think everyone has the right to privacy.  Especially when you aren't doing anything to break the law and you're not doing anything that is bothering anybody else.  

Privacy should be a basic right. It’s essential for personal freedom, security, and autonomy. Treating it as a privilege puts individuals at the mercy of governments or corporations, whereas recognizing it as a right ensures protection regardless of status or circumstance.

Privacy is a right, until you otherwise prove that you shouldn't get privacy.

Example: Until my step-daughter, now 14, proved to us she could not be trusted, she had unlimited access to her phone, social media, etc., without having to worry about us checking everything. Because of things she did, we now go through her phone and her accounts, we don't allow her to lock her door, sometime we don't even allow her to close her door, and we do room checks often. She doesn't get much privacy.

That said, she did some really inappropriate and could be classified as illegal things that turned her privacy into a privilege instead of a right.

This I can understand.  I think you should be allowed your privacy. so long as you're not doing anything that is fishy.  If you get caught doing something fishy, then you have to earn your your privacy back.

I reckon that privacy is a basic right. This also includes online privacy as well. In many places, online privacy rights are not followed properly and this should be changed. I think that privacy matters a lot in real life as well. This depends a lot on where you live and this also depends a lot on your surroundings as well.
