If you're worried about anyone *ever* having access to what you've highlighted/read on any wifi capable reader, though, the only solution is to never turn on wifi.

There used to be a feature called Shared Highlights, which would show the authorship of the highlights. It required opt-in to allow them to be shared, and then the other person had to Follow you. And it only worked on certain Kindle models. This never really caught on, and now you can go to Goodreads and share and Follow. I wish THOSE highlights and notes came back to Kindle in the manner Shared Highlights used to (i.e. not anonymized). One could imagine authors or literary critics sharing their notes, which would raise their profiles and perhaps spur sales of the books they annotate.
Popular highlights are anonymized, always. If somehow the passages I highlight get counted towards that, it is not of any concern to me. I often share these to Goodreads, where anyone can see them.
