Unrelated to your main point, "I'm not really privy to give details.", that's not how you use privy. If you have the details but aren't allowed to share them then you are privy to the details, but you can't share them.

Privy means "sharing in the knowledge of (something secret or private)", but it has nothing to do with sharing that knowledge with others.

The phrase to use would be "I'm not at liberty to give details".
