Correct. I assume I don't, so I'm always super-careful not to give away any information I don't need to give to begin with. Or I give fake information whenever possible, to pollute the well. For the rest, as the old saying goes, if it's on the internet, it's as good as public.
Agreed. If you have to trust a company with your privacy in any way, don't use an American company. It's not even their fault: they operate in a country that's fundamentally dangerous for your privacy.
My email provider is in Norway. for instance.
Not as bad as USA, but companies are required to keep visitor data for 6 months in Norway, and make it available to police on request. Running a no logs VPN in Norway is illegal.
