I've decide that appearing to wear my heart on my sleeve is a more viable approach to my personal privacy than is running a plethora of apps and ignoring reality.
So much of my personal data was collected before I began running privacy apps that the best I can do at this point is slow the hemorrhaging, which I don't believe can ever be stanched (and under any circumstances, I've never gotten the feeling that my data has been used to target me).
When the world thinks your life is an open book, you've got a secret, invisible wall behind which to hide those chapters you don't want written into the record - think, as do felons, terrorists, etc, throwaway phones and Tor - whereas when your entire life is hidden, people automatically wonder what you're hiding.
Edit: Not to say that I ignore privacy/security, rather I just don't go to extreme lengths to implement it.
