Rights and stuff

Digital privacy, however protective it might be, in my mind is clearly a negative right.For instance, a bank using my personal information cannot distribute my info without my consent. If I had no digital privacy, the bank could have done whatever they wanted to my information. They could have sold my info to the highest bidder if they wanted to. However, digital privacy laws protects me from unwanted distribution of my information.
