In the actual survey page the scale is missing! Is 1 = fully trust? Or is 1 = not at all?
Only in the result page I have found it: 1 = don't trust at all, 5 = trust completely.
It should be possible to let a item open, e.g. if I don't have an employer or if I do not use any Apple device.

Oh, all my answers were 1 = a lot, 5 = not at all. I'm probably not the only person who has done that (at least I'd like to think I'm not) so take the results with a grain of salt.

Well done, a completely irrelevant and nonsensical remark.

That's cute, Einstein.
What I said was, I trust each of the organizations only 90%; no bias.
Perhaps a revisit to the nearest theatre would help you revisit what Interstellar was all about; Box Office: Chris Nolan’s ‘Interstellar’ Tops $140M In China.

these are assumptions on how data can be used and I do not know if they are done this way:
Bank: like gmail, I would expect them to scan every transaction and log some part of that info to help its intelligence of what is good and what is bad transaction. How much of that info is need might sound a lot to some. Case in point is reddit comments that people put some "interesting" descriptions in their fiends notes which can get flagged and blocked.
Employer: likely most closest relationship of the list. I know they don't need to use it for money making, but also they easiest if data was leaked to sue so they want to be top secure and limited in what they keep

I trust the doctors and hospital employees, but not their data infrastructure. Not that I can really do much about it...

Believe this tug-of-war for most untrustworthy would be between them! (Though Facebook might win as they were caught  )
BTW, assumption here is 1: Least, 5: Most trustworthy (thats how I voted based on previous survey of similar sort 10 years back)

I have to say one thing about FecesBook: a lot of the personal information that can be gathered from them was posted there by the blithering idiots who don't give it a second thought.
Google: gmail tells you it will do whatever it wants with your email as a term of service. Not only the content, but the deduction of your entire social network based on email TO/FROM/CC data. Probably even more with BCC if you send it through them.
My biggest gripe with that is if I send email to gmail accounts they can build a profile on me even though I never agreed to their terms - like calling someone who's being legally wiretapped.
The worst breaches are done willingly and up front by jackass users. If they all didn't rush to agree to anything just to see the flashy colors on their screen (etc.) then it wouldn't be so.
Long ago, a comic strip Pogo had the following conclusion: "We have met the any and they are us".

Seems you read their terms and services. Hardly anyone does that. Google read your emails, profile you and even suggests what you generally write or have missed like an attachment. Google is almost everywhere (we cannot avoid it  ) and they are collecting tonnes of data about us.

Does that mean you read each line of each software term n services. And if any of it is concerning, you stop right away? Let's say gmail has some term that is not agreeable then you wouldn't use it and find an alternative widely used email?

Why does it have to be widely used? It just has to be your email address. If a person has an internet account then their ISP probably gives them an email account to go with it. My ISP, at least, only retains deleted mail as long as legally required - and does not have a caveat to read it at their leisure.
Reading terms of service. Damn - this isn't even required for gmail as it's pretty widely known. Then immediately forgotten by most users.
They'd rather complain about a lack of privacy then go through the trouble of doing something about it. That is, in fact, what all of the data miners, great and small, rely upon. Lazy people. Stupid people. Crowd followers . . . life's cannon fodder.

Yeah for email, probably yes. In general, there are limited good options and you have to choose one of them irrespective of terms n conditions.
It's difficult to guard data, someway you will be constrained and then it leads to feeling, 'how much can I do, its an effort wasted'.

One thing I do is have unlimited email forwards (on several accounts) and an SMTP emailer I wrote in C++ some years ago.
Everyone has a different email address for use with me - somewhat harder to correlate my data with one another. Of course, there's always the mailing address for package delivery . . . .

Well that would just mean you were able to salvage yourself somewhat from Google world but not everyone is as smart as you.

I'd be the first to admit it, but as a humble evolutionary advancement I'll just say 'single minded'. However, I don't plan on starting an argument over this assertion . . .

Hey, nothing like that from my side. It's just, very few are able to restrict themselves but most are still into sharing their data (mostly willingly as you shared)

In your part of the world you must be near the end of a long day - I was just messing around with the (obvious, justified and well deserved kudos on your part) that "not everyone is as smart" observation.

Your is the reply I hear from many who basically claim to not give a damn.
My question to them is the same to you: "So, if you don't mind them reading your mail then you won't mind finding the letters in your postal mail box opened, either?"
To think one is different than another in its implications is delusional.

First off, no I don't care about that.
However, your analogy fails. They don't read your emails. They parse them but no person is actually reading them. For your analogy to work it would be if the post office open your letters, scanned them into a database, then sealed them and mailed them to you.
But what is the threat? Can you quantify the threat?

Well - I'll count your reply as the usual BS because you haven't found your letters opened by - well - someone. What, after all, do you have to hide? At least, of course, until you find out someone's been looking. Email invasion doesn't leave a trace - so you fall in with the ranks of these three[^].
The bravado exhibited by someone who says they'd not scream while their feet are not yet in the fire.
As for 'the threat' ? I don't know if you can get this, but the term is "Dehumanizing" is a good start for you. For me, that matters. For you? Perhaps too late.

How would you know that?

You feel like you're not a human because someone else logged your email, didn't even read it, just logged it for future searching? That is YOUR problem, not the industries.

You know nothing about me, can't quantify or backup your statements, and then try to use juvenile insults. That's pathetic.
