Couple of thoughts: 1) There is quite a bit of money to be made from information so I think companies have found ways to sell its collection as a service to the consumer. 2) When a corporation or other business service is doing something of a slimy nature they often hide deep within the cryptic labyrinth of legal jargon, because they know the average consumer would rather just "trust them on it" than read it and perhaps seek professional interpretation of it. I also think at a certain point people don't know or don't want to know how little privacy they have.
