With simple everyday items: cardboard/box, painter's tape, trash bag, scissors/box cutter, and measuring tape - you could make your own privacy screen for your window.
We have an upstairs bathroom where you can see down to other homes. Even though our home is up higher, it is very uncomfortable to use that bathroom. Here is a tutorial where I made this privacy screen literally for free with items I already had at home. We still get sunlight while having privacy in your own home!
Total Time: 45 minutes

Steps:
I have a west facing window I don't have to worry about blocking till July! So, in order to have some privacy, but still let the light in, I did this with some lemonade jars and flooring planks.
Frosted privacy window film is fairly inexpensive. This film is ideal if you are living in a rental home, do not want to damage the windows or close the curtains.
You can create a sense of privacy without adding shades or curtains to a window. Get a frosted glass look using contact paper. It is an inexpensive way to create a privacy window in a bathroom or any other window you would like some privacy but not loss of light.
Solve a privacy issue in windows using bubble wrap. You will still get the light but the visibility is greatly reduced! You can get it at an office supply store. It comes in several sizes.
I sleep on a day bed in the living room and while I love the trees and sky, I hate the parking lot with the cars. So, with just 3 things and about 30 minutes, I made it so not only do I not have to see them, the people down below don't get to see me.
Our front door has crystal clear windows. Since the windows are at eye/head level where you could look directly in, we wanted to cover it up for privacy, but also make it so that when we have guests over or want more light we could always remove it.
If curtains that won't stayed closed or breezes that cause them to flutter open bothers you, try using a clothespin or a clip of any sort to keep them closed.
We just bought a new home and I would like to cover the windows by my front door.
