If you have a bank account, you gave your perfonal information to those sites.
I have a bank account, yes. Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to live without one.

Do you have a TV in your house? A bed? a refrigerator? Did you carry those itens personally in your back, or did you gave your personal information to those sites so they could deliver it in your house?
I have all these items, all bought in person, paid for in cash or bitcoin where possible, and taken home by myself. When I moved house, I dismantled and packed everything myself, and moved with the help of one friend and his van. I also use Amazon, paying entirely in non-traceable giftcards, and delivering to a drop off location which I later pick up from.

Is it a bit of an inconvenience to do all these things? Sure. Is it worth it to keep my personal data out of the hands of the likes of Google, Amazon, Facebook, and everybody else who wants it? Definitely.

If they delivered it to you, your situation is worse than ledger customers...
Even if they had delivered to me, it isn't. Strangers knowing that you own a bed is absolutely not comparable in terms of risk to strangers knowing that you own a hardware wallet.
