I have enormous privacy in my home. I can open up any book and read it with nobody logging what I read. I can destroy any notes I take and know they'll stay destroyed. I can even visit the library and do all these things in an environment with massive information access; only the card catalog usage might get logged, and I probably still don't have to tie usage to my identity because once upon a time it was totally normal to make knowledge tools publicly-accessible without the need for authentication credentials.
