Oh, they care about privacy just the way they care about security: valuable and actionable data about you should belong to them.
Their security people are top-notch. They guard your data very diligently. If they did not, you would not trust them with intimate details about your life.
Your privacy is the same. They will keep your data private *from their competitors*, but they will fully enjoy using it for their own purposes.
It is ludicrous to think that an advertising company, whose value proposition is precisely in its ability to target users accurately, would willingly impair their ability to do so.
They will, however, gladly make it difficult for their competition.
