Unless you give up every method of modern communication, you're not going to 
have any privacy no matter what you do.  It's very easy to find someone once 
you get their IP address or phone number.  So while I can appreciate trying to 
hold on to any shred of privacy, unless you become a hermit, privacy in 
today's world is nearly impossible.

After over three decades in IT, I've learned so many ways that one's privacy 
is invaded, I've given up and if someone wants to spy on me, go ahead.  But I 
do prefer encrypted email and using a VPN online.  Nothing is perfect but it 
makes it harder for those who want to watch.
