Generally when one talks about Constitutional rights one is talking about the rights explicitly protected by the Constitution. It is a semantic argument, not a philosophical one, to say there is no Constitutional right to privacy.
Perhaps instead of saying, "you have no constitutional right to privacy," one should say, "you have no right to privacy explicitly protected by the Constitution."
If by "secret section" you mean the 9th Amendment, then yes. Touché!
Though I don't think it's correct to say that the Right to Privacy (or the Right to Party for that matter) is a Constitutional right because of the 9th Amendment. When referring to Constitutional rights, we usually only means those explicitly enumerated.
Why should be give up our right to privacy? It is a Constituational right. The Right to Privacy must be in the same secret section of the US Constitution (I assume you mean US Constitution?) as the Right to Free Choice and the Right to Party...

I find it difficult to take career advice from a guy who's been in the working world barely a year.
