Privacy is a shield. It is useful to protect against a threat. It doesn't have to perfectly protect against the threat. But the important thing is to have a threat model and construct your privacy concerns around it.
Ask yourself what you believe will be a threat to you and then criticize those beliefs. Use this self-critical process to decide on your first idea of a threat model.
