Is there a difference between privacy and secrecy??

If so why? Or please give an example.

privacy refers to something that is no one else's business. Secrecy covers privacy but it can also include things that do concern others but are kept from them. The amount of money I have in the bank is none of you business and I use privacy and secrecy to keep you from finding out. Hillary Clinton conspiring to keep her health out of the voter's eyes is secrecy because those who would vote for the president aught to know if their candidate is healthy enough to serve.

Or how much money I don't have. That's a secret too.
