There is no such thing as privacy if you connect to the internet. Your ISP, as well as and especially the carrier ("backbone infrasture", ie ATT in the US for the most part) handles every jot and tittle of data you send out and receive. And ATT et al might as well be considered departments of the Executive Branch of government.
Even Tor, VPNs, proxies, etc, are useless against anything better than some script kiddie hacker wannabe in his mom's basement. Think about it, whatever you eventually connect to has to know how to get data back to YOU (your device). The ISP has to find your target, and pipe it back to you. The carrier infrastructure has to do the same. There's a plain as day trail from you to everywhere you go and right back. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to communicate at all with another PC or other device unless it's direct hardwired LAN or direct WiFi LAN.
Tor for privacy/anonymity? Developed by DARPA and the US Navy.
VPNs and proxy servers? Like the NSA, CIA, DOD, Chinese PLA, Russian FSB, British MI6 and even small time cyber criminals can't and don't set up VPNs and proxies so they can skim and scan all traffic that goes through them? Same with Tor exit nodes? Blockchain server hosts and algorithms?
If a person wants privacy, they have to isolate from all outside contact. Privacy is made by opaque walls (nothing gets in or out).
