It's not like I "have something to hide" bur rather I value my privacy, and wish more people did, too.

I also turn off "location" on my devices, bur I'm sure they must have workarounds.

It is tough to survive as an iconoclast in today's world.

I am *very* concerned with the Walmart issue, or broadly, companies being able to use CC info for tracking. And I'm in California foe crissakes, thought we had tougher regs here! Grrrr
