I would never pay someone to not be a privacy invader.
The reasoning is very simple --- it's impossible to verify that something is not being done.
Privacy invasion is ethically suspect. Most of the major companies who engage it are guilty of exceeding the boundaries they established themselves and have been legally penalized for their practices in many cases. They exceed the boundaries in search of more profit.
It's hard to play both sides of the fence. You're either trustworthy or you're not. I wouldn't place blind trust in those I judge to be ethically suspect.
