> I'm personally less concerned about the recording of the data, than the security of the data. Leaks due to security incomptence (e.g. the Facebook leak) seem like a much bigger imminent threat to me.

This reminds me of an old joke: it's not the fall that kills you; it's the sudden stop at the end.

You wouldn't have to worry about leaks if they didn't collect the data in the first place.
