You&#x27;re a plumber in my house. I feel like I fully have the right to watch you as you repair my plumbing. You&#x27;re a babysitter in my house. Babysitting my hypothetical baby. I feel like I would have the right to watch over that baby&#x27;s treatment in someone else&#x27;s hands. If you aren&#x27;t going to let me watch over the quality of your services, I would just find someone else to provide those services.<p>At some point, once we have established a degree of trust, I would probably watch over you less and less. This is quality control, not a privacy violation.<p>I do agree that within a single organization, such as a software company, employees need to have some level of privacy from each other in order to work efficiently and happily. That is also facilitated by an environment of mutual trust established by the company itself. That&#x27;s a very different situation from an individual contracting the services of another individual, who are not a priori related to each other.
