Noob question: How safe is it to transfer from an exchange to your wallet?

Hi all,

How safe is it to transfer from a bitcoin exchange (coinbase for example) to your own wallet?

I read that coinbase may track how and where you spend your bitcoins. Is this possible even if you have stored your bitcoins securely in your wallet? It seems like there is a problem with privacy to me. How can bitcoins be purchased anonymously?

Kind regards
