It is safe to assume that anything there is to be known about me… that is, most of that which has been manifested outside of my head… is already known by someone. Sometimes that someone is a person I know or a friend of mine. Sometimes it’s an internet company watching my browsing. Sometimes it is a retail store looking to optimize their service of my needs and in the process their profits.

I do not condemn any entity for knowing such things, after all it’s either natural or it’s common sense. What is interesting to me is that, while all of that data exists, it does not share the same owner. I suppose the aggregate of that data would not quite be a god, but it would be close enough to dramatically affect my life.

That being said, my suspicion is that the aggregate of the complimentary set of data — that which is not manifest — is a far larger set. With a greater proportion of absolute truck.
