You're distinction is meaningful. I will further distinguish whether one merely believes the statement or whether they are using it to argue a position.

I would say in the case where one says "I have nothing to hide." as a retort, it's usually in defense of an argument for the invasion of privacy. And it's never about themselves; it's always very distant from them.
