Disagree. Right to privacy is not equal to liberty. Liberty is the right to chose whether to spread your thoughts or keep them to yourself without any negative effects after your choice. All the rest seems to be correct.

No, not correct. Liberty doesn't offer you protection from negative effects when you express yourself. It does mean you aren't to be prosecuted, or persecuted by the government, but other free people enjoying liberty are free to persecute you for taking a position. And the right to privacy is exactly that choice you mentioned, to reveal or not. However, once you have chosen to reveal you have lost the "right" to control it, so the best we can ask is that the government be prevented from collecting, or pursuing your private data.
