The rest is good, but it's important to note that you have no privacy *anyway*, no matter what IPC mechanism you use, unless your code only ever runs on your own hardware. It's true that it's slightly easier to run a pre-built distributed notification watcher than it is to run gdb and attach to your program, but not greatly so. If you ever put any data on a user's machine, you should simply assume that he will be able to access it, no matter what steps you take to prevent it.
