No, I think they’re being literal. There is value that they want in your privacy.

This is why “average” is a shitty way to measure what values are likely.

If you have a thousand people who have a thousand dollars, and one person who has a billion dollars, the “average” person has a million dollars.

Dang, 30% off four months after release?

Ehh really depends on your boss. And honestly it depends on you also. If either of you can’t separate work from personal time then you really shouldn’t be hanging out. But for most of the bosses I’ve had, some lighthearted social time outside of work was perfectly fine.
