My data is on my SSD managed by an operating system whose source code I can read whenever I want. If I’m feeling extra paranoid, I can monitor my network traffic to make sure my machine hasn’t been compromised.
Nothing goes to the cloud. Nothing leaves my home without my consent.
If you really want sovereignty over your data, you keep it non digital.
My main problem is the crappy medical software complex that you have no control over. Visited a doctor any time in the last decade? Great. Your most personal details are scattered all over a bunch of insecure systems.
At any rate, I have zero trust in the government’s ability to help here. Their incentives are misaligned with mine. It’s rare to find a legislator who really wants more privacy for the average citizen.

These days what we normally call an OS is really just another guest OS to the embedded OSes that are really running the machine. Yes, smuggling things out unnoticed would be hard. As you say, the problem is largely data on you held by others.
