There are Bluetooth trackers in the restaurants and shops you visit.
Not if you don’t use bluetooth or shocking I know, it is possible to leave your house without a mobile phone…,…
Your credit card transaction history tells them what you spend money on, even more so if you use google pay or apple wallet.
Any purchase you want to hide? cash.
Your TV is listening in for keywords to send to advertisers
Not if you have a dumb screen.
our ISP tracks every site you visit.

They know exactly what you do, and how to make you buy what they want. But for the most part if they can’t link the data to your name then you are anonymous.
Unless you are of interest to nation sate security services, there is no they. This is bordering on paranoia.
Haha you skimmed and got things wrong (where the right answer is in my post history) but I don’t think you have countered my point - which was that this info is anonymous. You know (or could have with better attention to detail) details about me, but they are anonymous details, you couldn’t use them to identify me but it’s plenty to target ads.
Your counterpoints about VPNs and dumb TVs etc are not actually counterpoints to my post, because my point was that deleting social media makes you anonymous but not private.
And “they” is corporates. Governments for sure have much more detail about you and for the most part it’s not anonymous. Not in a nefarious way, just in an “if you think about it” way. In my country, between the tax department, the health department, the education department, the transport department (driver licences), the internal affairs department (birth, marriage, citizenship, passport information), police, immigration (border movements), and many other departments with records, the government can for sure get a large amount of info about an individual that is neither anonymous nor private. Plus, the government knows to a much better level what info is real.
Hay dave, where in NZ are you buying the house?.. Christchurch?
Is your three year old getting their own room?
Giving away details like that while writing this is pretty funny.

I am not that interested in you to read thoroughly.
You do you and worry about the man tracking you.
Haha if you think I’m worried about “the man” then you’ve misinterpreted my post.
