My reasoning behind picking No for first part of the second question is that we don't have enough information to negate that statement, ie. tell us that privacy is not important. Is that right or did I reach the right conclusion but through the wrong reasoning?

That seems like the correct reasoning, since none of the emails strictly tell us that privacy is not important.

isnt CEO just asking question if there will be privacy? this doesnt necessarily imply that he values private spaces?
[color=#000000]The CEO puts a higher value on workers having private spaces than the designer or project manager does.[/color]

Yes, i also have similar doubt about this,
If the CEO is asking something, this does not necessarily mean that he is having that opinion,
Maybe he's asking this to gather opinion of others and then make a rational decision
