Do you have a mobile phone? If so omnipresent Google will be sharing (collectively) your data (traffic data). If there enough relatively (to motor traffic) slow cyclists together it may show as a traffic jam. :lol: Do you live on a "public" street then Streetview will show data. Even if you don't there will be satellite imagery.
I do have a phone and sharing (collectively) my traffic data I don't regard as an invasion of my privacy. Streetview does not show any of my "data" (even though I do actually live on a public road. Satellite data, does show my house, but I don't regard that as too much of an invasion of privacy.
I accept I am not 100% anonymous, but I am far from the sacrificing my privacy. I take fairly straightforward steps to prevent myself being tracked online (not just cookies but through a host of other blockers). Even my phone has a significant list of blocks. I could go further but I'm happy with the level of privacy I've achieved (and none of the organisations above get anything specific to/attributable to me). Going further would not really cost anything and would not be much more effort but when I'm happy where I am I've better things to do.
