If you believe privacy exists in any developed nation in 2023 🤣
Privacy is as extinct as lamplighters, or the social contract.
Fortunately for you, you almost certainly aren’t very interesting, especially if you’re the type concerned about such things. Multiple governments and very likely multiple corporations know roughly how many guns you own, the kind of porns you’re into, whether you’re likely to cause a scene at some point in your life, etc.
There’s still privacy in the deep forest if it’s that important to you, but the Wifi sucks. Life is trade offs.
And as for whether my government that oppresses me or another government that oppresses their people have that data, whoopdie doo villains the world over have a profile on lil old me. A modern peasant not born into wealth/power having agency or a voice in such things is an illusion.
Hmm, I don’t know… Maybe it’s a fantasy but I trust my country (US) to at least somewhat have my interests at heart, if for no other reason than mutual self-interest and absolutely nothing else. I can’t say the same for China. I do think they have nefarious purposes. Not only that, but there’s some chance of discovering what US companies are up to. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how one would obtain information about what Chinese companies are doing, they’re basically an extension of the CCP, which has gone off the deep end, sadly, at least in my fairly uninformed opinion.
No, but mine is slightly more likely to engage in mutual self-interest than China is, as I argued in my previous comment. The US ain’t perfect, but China is far less so.

I mean, they might, but that depends entirely on your net worth, and if you have to ask how much, they don’t.
If your last name is Walton or Buffet though, both major parties will gladly suck on your genitals personally.

No government cares about you, buddy.
