It is important to understand the difference between the private sector and public sector because your privacy rights will differ depending on the legislation that an organization is governed under.

The Public Sector
The public sector is usually composed of organizations that are owned and operated by the government. This includes federal, provincial, state, or municipal governments, depending on where you live.

A public sector organization is not to be confused with a public company – which is a company that is traded on a stock exchange. Examples of public companies are Microsoft, Facebook, and Coca-Cola.
Some examples of public bodies in Canada and the United Kingdom are educational bodies, health care bodies, police and prison services, and local and central government bodies and their departments.
