As regular nobodies, our data is probably distributed in the hands of both allies and non-allies. As long as there's such a strong push, both commercially and institutionally, for tracking and data mining, our only recourse is going offline.

No one wants our specific dental bills, mortgages or tax returns, but governments and corporations love mass statistics.

As soon as you're a "problem", e.g. because of a large insured event or ownership of property that someone wants to buy below the market, you're on someone's radar. At that point you no longer get the "regular nobody" defense.
