I carry my cell phone with me everywhere. I truly can't care less if they track me back and forth to restaurants, grocery stores or the car parts stores. I use credit cards and debit cards. I have had both hacked, but it never cost me a penny, just the aggravation of getting a new card.
Oh, I'm sure you are right about that insurance angle, if I was in the insurance biz I'd definitely want access to this data. I just assume there is zero privacy these days, because there really isn't. I don't think most people comprehend the massive amount of data that companies have on you - they likely know your behaviors and patterns better than you yourself do.
