To "uphold one's commitment to privacy" the only thing to do is just that: uphold one's commitment to privacy. One doesn't need to make sure the lookups are "efficient" or "scalable" (or "clean" or "polite" or what have you). That is absolutely not needed for privacy.
Why would they need to add these qualifiers if not to explain/justify that privacy isn't the only concern, there are technical matters to consider as well.
Not needed for privacy, but not an obstruction to it either.
They have thoroughly documented the architecture, so if you have a concern about that, then state it.
At the moment you are saying that because it’s efficient and scalable it must be at the cost of privacy - but have stated no reason for that to be true.
