Could you say it's a feeling of powerlessness?

Could we perhaps group together embarrassment, loss of dignity and shame and summarize the point as follows?

"Invasions of privacy cause psychological harm."

Yes, psychological harm is one of the most powerful arguments against privacy invasion as I see it. The other being the potential for social or even physical harm, i.e. misuse of that data by people who are able to gain access to it.
