What is your threat model?

I don't need a threat model to wish to preserve my privacy from second parties. What is the threat model for not putting public cameras in your shower?

I want a mail client that connects to my mail server and nothing else. Any functionality that involves connecting to anyone or anything beyond that is unwanted.

You'll note that client IP is coarse location. Any service that has persistent identifiers and is contacted daily gets your travel history.

Service exploits, MITM shenanigans, DB breaches, marketing assault...

Need I go on?
