That's it? Privacy is just the lack of tracking? There are no other components to a private life?

Tracked by whom? Anyone? Is it OK if your parents track you? Does your government have a direct involvement in, say, public city streets?

Is this about technological tracking? What if you walk through a forest, and some stranger comes up behind your path, and uses natural evidence to find out something about you, and which way you went? How would you prevent that?

I mean you should pursue the ideal, and you will be pretty good if you fail. I don't believe you really answered my original question but it is fine.

IMHO, your question was both rhetorical and open to interpretation, so at least I attempted to clarify the latter.

It really wasn't. The conversation was about computers, and you started talking about forests.
