I feel as though the improvements in security lend themselves to improvements in privacy, and vice versa, in a rather linear relationship.

That being said, privacy factors are primarily user-choice in that it is the optional apps and programs that compromise privacy, even if the privacy breaches are less-than-voluntary, as seen in the recent clipboard skimming scandal. Making an OS more secure by limiting unauthorized access to information like the clipboard is both more secure and more private.
