Alby is a custodial wallet so they can very easily see when one npub zaps another npub. Not very private. Also, zaps are usually published as nostr events so that clients can show the zap tally. Again, not private. If you want to send someone BTC privately via nostr, better to DM some ecash (look up eNuts, Minibits apps, both using Cashu protocol). Still custodial but private.
Typical lightning payments (where a user generates an invoice and another user pays it) are pretty good for privacy, especially for the sender (I believe). Others can correct me here.
As an aside, based your profile pic you may be based in Toronto. If so, hit up CraigTheSpaceBum (npub1826…7t95) for a torontoplebs.ca NIP-05 verification handle.
