Now I understand the value of data, but what most companies miss is the value of consumer privacy. We like our privacy and will pay for it if we need to.

Typical data capture and analytics isn't like Prism. Seriously, you overestimate your own importance. Facebook doesn't care what you individually do, it's all about collecting statistics about everyone so they can better reach the groups you're a part of.
I know, and I'd rather the service be paid for by myself than by a secret service.
