Yeah, so we have to give up privacy to function in society. However, we don't have to give up dignity. A person of good character can know every bad thing about you and still treat you like a human being. The difference is that most corporations are persons from a legal standpoint, but not from an ethical or moral one.

That's why "privacy rights" are inconsequential to the problem of human dignity. The problem of being treated well by others is essentially a problem of the character of the other person (or entity), not how much or how little they know about you.
