In case you're wondering where privacy might matter in everyday life:
Suppose you're in a support group for survivors of violence. You meet someone in the support group and befriend them and don't want to out them and expose them to victim-blaming. You would need to keep quiet about where you met, and you might need to keep separate friends groups. Suppose some of your friends are lesbian or gay and some of your relatives are homophobic, and you don't want to expose your friends to harassment from your relatives. You would need to keep separate friends groups. These are just two hypothetical examples, of course.
