As a private person doing nothing illegal, is there value in having curtains on your windows ?

It's not a question of whether there are things I'd like to hide, and why I want to hide them. It's simply a natural desire to only disclose my personal affairs to specific parties for specific purposes.

Suppose I go to the pharmacy for some paracetamol and they ask to see a list of all the people I've emailed in the last 6 months, or at the supermarket I need to share my search history for the last 6 months.

There's nothing illegal or anything I would be really embarrassed about, but it would be absolutely absurd. That's the way the modern internet is built though.
