A balance needs to be achieved where we are aware of the threats and we actively seek not allow ourselves to be compromised by them. So in this case be aware of your surroundings. Hide away from society and it will come and find you, thrust yourself into it and you'll soon be hiding from it. Bloxxy. Just to complete, we will never have total privacy nor total anonymity;

People on public transport airing their private details, I find it quite ironic. On a journey from Winnersh Triangle, (yes there really is such a place) to London, I was sitting next to a lady who, as I casually observed was writing her resignation letter. By the time we got to London, I had found out far too much information about her, BTW she was working for one of the Big Four and was getting paid a reasonable amount and her name was Sarah, lol. When I got off of the train she walked passed me and I said good luck with the new job Sarah, the look on her face, priceless! We are all custodians of information, but it is our own private information, that, at times we are oblivious of. I’ve come across the same scenario numerous times.
