It may allow organizations and governments to hold each other accountable, because generally there's an inappropriate coordination or centralization of the data-gathering machinery and the political/financial machinery.
As for privacy, I think it will serve to add more players to the data game, balancing the powers.

Lowly individuals would gain absolutely nothing, they have better things to do than sniffing each other's data trails. That investment of time would in the overwhelming majority only be worthwhile for malicious use cases. Even in the simple stalker/stalker evasion scenario: the stalker would enjoy digging into the data, but for the stalkee, keeping track of the stalker for avoidance would be a terrible chore.
