I cannot believe anyone gave the government higher than a 1 in terms of trust.

The government will sell your data for a fast buck - don't care where you are this is true for every government, whatever its politics. Not only that they will will share it with each other.

Its not always true to be fair, the question you need to ask yourself is this: Do you pay your fair share of Tax or do you give members of the government free holidays in your luxury yacht?

If you answered Yes I do pay my fair share of tax, more-so even, then you are a minion and your data is for sale. If you answered No I regularly entertain the more important governments, royalty and other obscenely rich people then you are one of the ruling class and your data is secure. Incidentally if you are unsure you are a minion. Ordinary billionaires aren't rich enough you need lots of billions, and we need that to be in dollars or equivalent. This is how the world works. If you have a revolution all you do is elevate some new people into the ruling class to replace some (but almost never all) of those who were revolted against. If you change the government more conventionally all you do is replace those who serve the ruling class with another lot. Its really very simple, never, ever trust the government with your data. You can trust them to do some other stuff, you can probably even trust some governments to be fair and even handed with their lack of care over your data, but actually protecting it? Only for commercial purposes.
