More than privacy, I want safety. So, I don’t mind that much that Apple or Google got my home address details or bank cards: I know it’s very unlikely that those details will land in the wrong hands (i.e., illegal stuff). I know the data will be used for selling me stuff. I can live with that.
On the other hand, I don’t like to give my home address and or passport details to a random website (like airlines or shops) because I fear they will be sold (or stolen) and I may be in trouble.

(this does not account for booking.com stuff where there is an in-between credit card to preserve your privacy)
