Tracking needs to spelled in dead simple terms for people.

Eg:

Are you okay with contractors at the following companies:

[list of 54,683 companies no one outside the industry has ever heard of, with addresses in 162 different countries]

Having access to:

-every item you've ever purchased at Amazon, eBay, footlocker, hot topic, CVS, [your local sex shop], best buy, target, wall Mart, etc. Including your prescriptions.

-every picture you've ever uploaded to the internet, including ones you've never shared publicly

-your current location and your location whenever you ever use the app, as accurate as a few inches

-every single file on your device

- all of you emails

-recordings of your phone calls, video chats, and messages

-...

Sure, tracking may not be at this level yet. But has anyone actually seen the God mode panels at Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and shared the hard details of what is there?
