You should be forbidden from calling it private if you scan it like this. Companies should be forced to market their data storage as public so as to not deliberately mislead users

Public might not be the right word either, but I totally agree that it shouldn't be allowed to call it private. Maybe we need a new word for "not public, but not really private [from your corporate/government overlords] either".

Is the fact that we need this new word a sign that we've gone too far? It's 1984 already, isn't it??

Super-private, as in Supervised Private Data. :D
