conditions, health services received by them) or their
activities and views (e.g., religion, politics,
opinions expressed by an individual, an opinion or
evaluation of an individual). Personal information is
to be contrasted with business information (e.g., an
individual’s business address and telephone number),
which is not protected by the Act.
