If you've been paying attention to my facebook profile, you'd see I started a group about privacy. I've always been paying close attention to the privacy policies of websites and I find them a bit one sided as I would expect from any faceless corporation.

You're on a computer system that can and will be used for tracking. It's all built into the system. You think that it's not, but it is. There's ways to see just what apps are being launched what date, time, and by who. Cookies track activities, etc.

I don't say this to be alarmist, but to be conscious of it. When I don't want someone to know something, I don't use a computer, just ilke if I want to keep a secret I don't tell anyone.

What I find is that I keep disparate things with disparate companies. I'm even tempted to use old obsolete tech to keep things more private. The problem with this is interoperability. I don't get the benefits of seamless experience, which is what has made computers to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.
