This seems problematic. What is it about the aggregate information that makes it private? That is, at what point does a collection of individually public data become private? (I agree that it should, but would have trouble defining the precise point at which it does.)
> PUBLIC: your sexual orientation

I guess that this was intentional, but I think that I don't understand. Do you mean that sexual activities that are undertaken in public (I can't come up with a good way to phrase that—I mean innocently, things like dating and such) are public, and sexual activities that are undertaken, say, in the bedroom are private?

I'd guess that the point is your sexual orientation is both since it isn't really anyone else's business, but obviously your partners (even if they are super secret partners) will know, making it public?
