U.S. Const., Amend. IV:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Amendment IV forms the basis for the Exclusionary Rule, which, if validly applied, excludes inculpatory evidence from consideration as to the criminal responsibility and therefore criminal liability of a person or entity. That is, it functions to prohibit unlawful searches and seizures, including seizures of the person constituted by the arrest and detention of persons. In this context, the "right to privacy" is the "right to be free of unlawful searches and seizures"--and, of course, it is a very highly-qualified right.

Defense against invasion of privacy?
"The U. S. Constitution contains no express right to privacy. The Bill of Rights, however, reflects the concern of James Madison and other framers for protecting specific aspects of privacy, such as the privacy of beliefs (1st Amendment), privacy of the home against demands that it be used to house soldiers (3rd Amendment), privacy of the person and possessions as against unreasonable searches (4th Amendment), and the 5th Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination, which provides protection for the privacy of personal information. In addition, the Ninth Amendment states that the "enumeration of certain rights" in the Bill of Rights "shall not be construed to deny or disparage other rights retained by the people." The meaning of the Ninth Amendment is elusive, but some persons (including Justice Goldberg in his Griswold concurrence) have interpreted the Ninth Amendment as justification for broadly reading the Bill of Rights to protect privacy in ways not specifically provided in the first eight amendments."
Why is the 4th amendment important?
The 4th Amendment ensures that the privacy of U.S. citizens is protected, except in the case that a warrant is given by an authority for a reasonable purpose. (In example, a warrant may be given to search a home if an authority has reason to believe that the owner or resident has committed a crime.)

Which amendment protects your privacy?
No Constitutional Amendment explicitly enumerates the right to privacy. The right to privacy is implied under the 1st, 4th, 9th, and 14th Amendments. The U.S. Supreme Court first acknowledged a right to privacy in the case Griswold v. Connecticut in 1965, which affirmed the right to marital privacy. The most common argument today deals with Justice Harlan's "substantive due process" justification, which arises from the 14th Amendment due process clause and the 9th Amendment.
