Well a part of it is situation specific - it's a professional service organisation. Everything & everyone is up to their eyeballs in confidentiality agreements so the whole "we'll sell havoc's data for 200 dollars" mindset just isn't a thing.

>I'm curious why you assume that the data your employer has about you hasn't already made its way into the hand of "big companies

They take security very seriously - far more than I do in a personal context. So I don't feel exposed on that front.

So as I said - big brother google is my primary worry here. God knows what they can patch together with their black magic. Supercookies and assorted bullsht. And their eco system is quite difficult to escape (part of the reason I switched to iphone).
