So? That doesn't invalidate the point of the comment you replied to.

To give another example: The cashier at the supermarket knows when I'm buying condoms, but that doesn't mean I want to tell my parents.

And neither would I want to know as a parent, when or whether my kids order bondage gear on Amazon.

It's not just about my information going to other people, but also keeping certain information of other people from reaching me.
