If you want privacy there is only one way you can get it. Never be born. 
To late. You've already blown that. Next best is to never buy/own 
_anything_. You've blown that one also. Own a home? everything about 
that home is public information. The sale itself is a matter of public 
record.

Shop big department/chain stores? Pay by check sometimes and credit 
cards others? They link all your purchases and accounts. Have regular 
buying habits, a one pound bag of sugar every five weeks for example? 
After a while they know exactly when you will need sugar and can target 
you with an ad offering sugar at a sale price to get you into the store 
to buy more stuff. They know everything you buy and can track your 
purchases over time.

Bottom line is, To Late! There is no such thing as privacy any more. We 
_all_ leave a trail of personal information a mile wide every day of our 
lives just by living. It's just a matter of how hard someone is willing 
to work to find out. All you can do is suck it up and keep moving 
forward. A moving target is harder to hit.
