I'm not sure that actually helps, because most people don't consider personal embarrassment similar to the serious reasons privacy is important.

For example, the consequence of the bathroom door being opened is fairly predictable and honestly, benign. But the consequence of someone gaining power of your life through knowing information that you thought was private is quite unfathomable. Which is why we often describe it as "creepy" even though we can't actually assign any specific negative consequence to it. Perhaps the most important thing of all is that humans have simply evolved to have this "creepy" detector as a built in defense mechanism, and we find it very disturbing and psychologically upsetting when it goes off. The simple fact that this is the human condition (whether valid or not) is sufficient to warrant it being respected.
