But you're using one of the most invasive tracking software there is -
check your email address!!

I tested this back some time ago. Set up 2 new accounts, new names, new
everything - none of which was ever used in ANY other way. Sent only ONE
email discussing in detail a very VERY rare and horrible disease.
Result: I started to get emails re doctors, meds, therapy, vacation
spots which 'could help my suffering', and other somewhat less related
stuff.

I think you can assume G will analyze every single word/phrase using
VERY sophisticated AI to get every penny they can from you, in any way.

Re privacy, think about the business model behind the software. Are
they primarily selling hardware/support, possibly somewhat expensive by
'comparison',  or is it supposedly "free" or cheap. Do they ever say no
to information requests? These may be good clues to how much privacy
you may have.
