Ultimately, asking for a simple guide to privacy is like asking for a simple guide to safety. It's a broad category, and different people have different needs. Certain parts are simple (privacy: avoid interaction with big tech, safety: don't leave a fire unattended) but many elements are either unnecessary (windows privacy-supporting software for someone who only uses an iphone, flotation devices in the Sahara) or necessarily complex. (data hygiene procedures, having the correct type of fire extinguisher) There is no prebuilt 'Privacy Guide for Darkguyman's situation.'
