The "right to privacy" is an umbrella term that refers to a constellation of unenumerated noneconomic fundamental rights protected by the Constitution. Unenumerated means they're not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Noneconomic means they're focused primarily on social freedoms. And "fundamental" which means the State cannot encroach upon these rights without a "compelling interest" and Courts will review any infringement with "strict scrutiny."
