Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'right' (an entitlement) + 'to' + 'privacy' (freedom from intrusion) yields an entitlement to be free from unwanted intrusion. The 'right to + noun' pattern is common and parallels constructions in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will reliably understand this phrase.
Etymology
Right to privacy comes from the simple image of a closed door around your life; right means something you are allowed to have and privacy means your own space away from others. So it means 'the right to be free from unwanted attention or interference in your personal life'.
