This is clearly a dig at how the major phone and internet companies in RealLife retain people's personal data for their own use and sale to third parties, or disclose that information to government surveillance programs.

He also owns the vast tracts of pristine forests and mountains around it, such that two hours of the helicopter ride are spent flying over them.

His communication with the outside world is cut off because his cell phone has no signal and he can't use the keycard-locked house phones. This is entirely intentional on Nathan's part, as his goal was to create a secret and undisturbed place for his experiments.

to:
Set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, a young programmer is selected by a reclusive billionaire to spend the week in his isolated compound, where he will take part in a Turing test; evaluating the human qualities of a breathtaking female A.I. named Ava.
It mixes together a lot of Artificial Intelligence tropes, and dashes in a great deal of AlternateCharacterInterpretation when it comes to the three main characters.
