I would be somewhat worried that information could be abused now or in the future. Since that data is necessarily going to be noisy, insurers probably aren't going to make black and white decisions based on it, but they could score you somewhat worse over it. You could maybe trust them that their algorithms would be able to determine that since you work in health care and are probably in the top 5% of people who search health terms that your individual data is polluted by your job, but I would never trust an insurer's black-box algorithms. They only need to be statistically correct over the population, they can always fuck you over individually and still make a fantastic profit for themselves.
Is this really going on? Maybe not, but is it worth it to ignore the risk? Can you just use DDG so it isn't a question?
