A private profile makes it more difficult to get the information, but if someone does get, they can use it against you. (The constitutional protections for privacy and against certain kinds of search apply against the government, not private citizens.) It's like if you left something damaging written on a piece of paper inside a sealed envelop in your home; if a guest happened to pick it up, open it, and read it, the information could be used against you, notwithstanding that the writing was "private." Don't rely on privacy settings--don't post anything bad for you.
