Perhaps I can answer that.

Private information is about an individual. We were distinguishing between that and breaches that could be information about a business, for example, a piece of mail with the business name and address, which is public information. We would have considered that a breach of information but not necessarily a breach of privacy.

I don't know if that explains it.
