  2. Communication privacy domain: This refers to the privacy of communication channels, including email, text messages, and phone calls.

  3. Locational privacy domain: This concerns the privacy of an individual's physical location, such as GPS data on their phone or tracking information from IoT devices.

  4. Behavioral privacy domain: This includes personal information related to an individual's behavior and habits, such as browsing history, search queries, and online purchases.

  5. Social privacy domain: This refers to the privacy of an individual's social interactions, such as their social media profiles and connections.
