I used to think like this about Google, back in the "Don't Be Evil" days.

I end up living day by day, knowing that nothing is permanent. Right now, I'm with Apple, acutely aware that someday, this will change -- probably when some snake finally manages to slip through similar legislation in the US and it becomes profitably unattractive for Apple to maintain it's privacy stance.

Apple's privacy stance is a marketing thing, after all.
