I would not use email to send things and would opt instead for one of the Send To Kindle apps:
1 - you are involving a 3rd party (namely whoever hosts your email service), and whatever privacy and security deficiencies they may have
2 - you are limited by the attachment size limit of your email service, typically around 20MB. With the STK apps (including Kindle for iOS if you are using an iOS device) it is something like 50MB. If you are using a desktop email client, it’s also going to chew up disk space unless you prune your mail folders regularly (specifically Sent Mail folder).
3 - you do not have the opportunity to edit the Title/Author of whatever it is you are sending
Amazon’s privacy policies are there to read. If you are concerned then you should read them and decide if your concerns are justified.
That said, I use this feature less and less as time goes by, mostly because I have quite enough to read and usually consume this external content in situ (for example read .epub files with an .epub app on my tablet/phone) rather than taking the time to convert it and possibly find it didn’t convert well.
