    In my OPINION, it's paranoia to think that these companies would--or even could--really do anything malicious to an individual. The manpower involved in hunting down individuals based on a sea of search- and meta-data is improbable. Sure, there are computers to run the algorithms and serve up better advertising and results, but they treat it (you, us) all as statistics and people are just a number. Your specific details, the secure stuff, is of little interest to the big companies unless they plan on doing something with it, which would be insanely illegal and violate every privacy policy out there (that's why they exist). Lawyers, the public and governments would go apeshit if anything were ever exposed, so it's a fair bet that the policies are pretty solid and trustworthy. Yet, this is ONLY my opinion.
