You don't use privacy to strip out notes etc from a gedcom, you use the
Gedcom customise options. They control which gedcom tags are exported.
See the Customise button on the right. This includes an exclude option
for address/phone and Notes of various kinds. I don't know whether that
is just mailing addresses or event addresses.
It's true that Ancestry etc will privatise the living for you but you
can choose not to include the living in your gedcom using the options in
the Privacy section in the Gedcom export. I think this is a better option.
When exporting for Ancestry I generally just include the vital events
with their sources. You can do this by using Basic and then adding the
tags SOUR and PAGE.
I also go to the second tab headed Other Options on the main export
screen and uncheck to override source options as I don't want to include
my source detail text OR sources that I have chosen not to include in
reports.
If you don't have a gedcom viewer program and find the gedcom difficult
to understand when opened in Notepad (as it's a plain text file), you
can import your gedcom to a new Legacy file to see what you are actually
exporting.

Hi
I would like to upload my FT to Ancestry and other websites as a
Gedcom file.
I am reasonably certain I have stripped the records of any notes or
sources by using the privacy tools on legacy.
However I note that the addresses entered in the birth, death and
burial records are still showing
I would like to know if these addresses will stripped or removed when
the file is uploaded.
I know that dates of persons still living are stripped and names
marked as private.
