Are there any guides, tutorials or similar on how to use Steam more privately?

Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

A non technical answer: Don't interact with other players and don't give out any personal information.
Use a unique and non-memorable username in steam and in game. Don't use any of the social functions in steam.
It's often overlooked that the biggest risk to personal information is the person themselves.
(Obviously you need to give some information to Steam for purchasing, and others have shown other methods to limit what information is sold about you as much as you an. It also depends where you reside - the EU has better protections than most)
