Everything is sensitive at some point.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Why? Well, I actually do trust all of them . . . to abuse my personal information in any manner they can weasel up.

For me, I trust more on Microsoft, then Google and Dropbox.

so if they don't like you, watch out. Not an opinion BTW, but fact.
I trust MS and Google the most, but I don't know any better, so I am just hoping for the best, really.

But, I like to say something about them too.
Amazon, doesn't have any of my data, apart from my home address. So, I'm fine by that.
Apple, I don't trust them at all. I just had one experience, when I started Mac and I logged in Google using Safari and I remember clearly, I selected "DO NOT SAVE PASSWORD". Just the next moment, Apple asked me if I would like to add Google account to Mac for quick access to emails. I chose to, and Google API didn't ask me for my password, which makes me believe, maybe they had it saved somewhere despite me asking them not to.
Dropbox, yes, indeed. Infact, my semester books, my own publications and a few other helpful material for my class mates is published using Dropbox.
Facebook, even if you didn't trust them. They would still know who you are through Instagram, even if not that, you're still going to send a message through WhatsApp. By the way, I partially trust them and partially not.
GitHub, like they're gonna steal my open source projects? And if I have to maintain a proprietary software, I would develop my personal project to maintain the version control system.
Google, definitely. Google is one of the companies where I feel safe and at home. Just I don't like their social networking platform; it sucks.
Intel, sorry but their registers can have data of 32-bit or 64-bits. And my data is way bigger than that. 
Microsoft, No! But... Granted the amount of Windows operating systems, OneDrive services, Hotmail and Outlook email clients, even if you don't trust them, you are going to say that you do. Because, it is better to say you do than saying, I don't but they're gonna have my data anyways.
Twitter, of course man. They have been fighting against many government agencies for user privacy. They deserve a trust, but be careful.
Obviously, on Internet you should not trust anyone, anything. But if you have to, better read the feedback of previous clients. You will get your answers.

one of the view to admits, he is ok with google!
may I jump into your boat, please? 
I am "living" very strong in the google cloud, google "office"(docs, sheets) and all that stuff. I do not have local data on my machines except games.
I am only using windows because there is no alternative to directx. still by far the most used graphics platform for games.
microsoft, fb, twitter, dropbox all got a "1" from me. yes, i am an outlook-free-person. no onedrive or skydrive or however they call it. saw it when a friend used it - they dont even show a directory tree on the webinterface... what a stoneage crap. saw that office online once... a slow dinosaur like microsoft office. awful.
google is lightyears ahead with this.

Marking the trust levels for each company, I went for 0 for all social media, 1-2 for Microsoft, Apple and Google. And upwards from that for the remaining ones. I find it interesting that Microsoft is in first position at the moment. Given all the windows 10 privacy concerns that people share(be they justified or not).
|
|
|
|
|
Obviously most of them here hate Social Media ! But trusting Microsoft is not very surprising, in my opinion.
|
|
|
|
|
I understand the tendency to not share too much with social media.
But trusting Microsoft is maybe a bit surprising to me. Given their more aggressive attitude with windows 10.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Trust Amazon for deliver my goods and google to help me solve my it development problem

I especially don't trust Amazon, Apple or Microsoft in the form of Skype. They all managed to extract money from an expired credit card without my permission. Oh, and I don't trust my bank any more.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

but Apple says "No" and let go to court - but Bill Gates says it is OK. Does anybody REALLY remember it?
Looks like nobody is interesting in that, and violating the privacy has no consequences. I am sorry for you folks...
Press F1 for help or google it.

No one's forgotten - in fact, it's been debated heavily.
As for Apple's concern for your privacy. If you believe that, I've a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.

I will not now or ever trust an outside company with my critical data. The Cloud paradigm is going to prove to be a failure, but not before millions, possibly billions of users are badly hurt by their data being compromised.

The Cloud is a lie, it's just someone else's computer

Exactly. And he probably uses 12345! for the Admin password.

Perhaps not relevant but why isn't CodeProject on the list?
|
|
|
|
|
Because CodeProject isn't a store of 'private' data.
What gets published here is intended for a public audience.
We hope that what we put on these cloud services doesn't become public.

|
Some of us have something called MyUploads, so I can have some private data here
