Personal rights

Personal rights are the rights that a person has over their own body. Among personal rights are associated rights to protect and safeguard the body, most obviously protected by the torts of assault and battery. Furthermore, aspects of personality are protected, such as a person's reputation, by the tort of defamation, and legislation protecting the privacy of individuals.

The right to be secure in specified visual art creations were marginally recognized via the Visual Artists Rights Actin 1990 statutorily encoded in USC 17 ยง106A. The Berne Convention, agreed to by numerous countries, recognizes the personal right to exclusively control visual art creations.
