Nobody cares about you, except as an anonymous consumer to advertise to.
I worked for awhile at a fairly large ad network and you'd be surprised how much tracking and data profiling of users does go on - all anonymously of course. There are probably a couple dozen ad networks tracking you as we speak - mainly through Flash cookies that are hidden on your hard drive.
But at the end of the day what does it all add up to? Not a whole lot to get scared about, unless email spam and popups scare you.
