No, no it isn't. My close friends know a helluva lot more about my private life than my parents do. My coworkers know next to nothing about my private life; that's varying degrees of private right there.

As far as agencies, well, there's nothing I can do to stop the FBI, NSA, MI5, random evil government agency, from finding me and knowing everything about me if they want to bother looking through IRS tax returns and assign real people to bothering with me.

The goal is to ensure that some server at Random Evil Corporation doesn't have a file with my current address and preference in toilet paper available for targeted marketing.

Nice. Real nice.
I'm not sure if this is a facetious remark, but last I checked neither Amazon nor AMEX had black helicopters. The government already has a nice fat file on me starting with my birth certificate and all tax returns, so I don't think they'll be bothering with Amazon shipping information.
