It is? I did a quick search through the Constitution [0] and Bill of Rights [1] and found no mention of the word "privacy."

Suppose it depends on your country. Here's Finland's (10 ยง): https://www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/ajantasa/1999/19990731

Although the constitution was recently changed (same one) here aswell, so you may very well have a point: https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-10436005

It took what, two months to rush the new clause through? It's like being the constitution has no weight on it at all.
