Your pals will also no doubt confirm that there are no guarantees there, especially considering that the Kindle is a portable, wireless devices, and may one day find it self connected to a network other than your own.
Best solution, as said before, is don't put put anything on it you'd have a problem with them knowing about.
The only sure technical solution is to disable the communication features (preferable by removing the radio hardware, never connect it to another computer, never let any body else use it, and, as the old bit goes, remove the battery and bury the device in cement. :-)
