And that is fine by me. Using my behavioral data to train an underfitting model is very different from actually storing my behavioral data. Sure, the word 'underfitting' does the heavy lifting in my previous sentence. But I don't think that overfitting is even feasible at this scale. Google does not train models that just memorize the habits of 3 billion people. Such a model would be useless.

Unless your behavioural data is enough of an outlier to identify you.

Yes but an outlier will be identified regardless of where s/he chooses to go, the data just reflects that idea
