Ok, my statement was maybe too black/white and you jumped on top of that. The point is that Monero has Privacy level / mixin settings, the default is not completely open, but certainly doesn't qualify as super private either.

I shared a link to a product that I feel is very successful in reaching privacy. I have no ties to this product (though I have used it).
