private properties

Individually owned assets

Private properties are assets owned by individuals or entities rather than the government or public.

The term appears in legal, economic, and political contexts where ownership rights matter: The new law protects private properties from seizure without compensation.

In programming, private properties are variables accessible only within their containing class, hidden from outside code.
