Privacy is not anonimity though. Privacy simply means that private data is not disclosed or used to parties and for purposes that the data owner doesn't explicitly allow. Often not collecting data is a way to ensure no misuse (and no compromise, hence security), but it's not necessarily always the case.

Right, and often for that to be the case, the transferring and storing of data should be secure.

I'm mostly just pointing out the fact that when you do x ≠ y ≠ z, it can still be the case that x = z, e.g. 4 ≠ 3 ≠ 4.

Just nitpicking, perhaps.
