Let me just list a few of the things that I consider private:
* The fact that I viewed the email in any way
* The fact that the email was opened on more than one date
* What IP address is assigned to me by my service provider
* What user-agent is used by me (and what version)
* Whether or not I share my IP with other email addresses
* Bandwidth information about my network
* Latency information about my network
> None of that is your private information.
You are dead wrong on this point.
