Trust as in trust what they're going to do with it. Google and Amazon are very up front about it. I trust I have a pretty good idea what they do with my data. And I'm pretty happy with it. Amazon knows I own a table saw capable of holding a 10 inch blade with a 5/8ths hole and I'm pretty happy with that and I sincerely hope they target some advertising for a nice 80 or more tooth plywood blade in my direction.

Apparently almost no one trusts snapchat to do what they claim. You delete this? Really? Somebody help me, do I have "gullible" sharpie'd on my forehead today? Maybe 90% of the population and I are wrong and they actually do what they claim, but...

Don't read it as "I trust you're doing the right thing" but "I trust them to do what they say they'll do".
