I don't know what "ashamed" encompasses, but an angle I think this word doesn't cover is how your information can be exploited. I think a while back this was less understood but has definitely come to light over the past few years.
I have nothing to hide but also don't want to be unknowingly taken advantage of somehow, which is why I do care about privacy. I may take this to the extreme because I hardly ever hand out my information, even to people in real life - it's not just about online services, but rather any source that can "leak" your information intentionally or unintentionally.

This is mind blowing to me. Think of what someone could do with this information (although I see it is obsolete and he now uses Google Calendar (!))
