    Your privacy is valuable to you, and that's why it's so hard for us to get our hands on your data. Since the data is so difficult to obtain, it suddenly becomes very valuable to advertisers. They are willing to pay us a lot of money for it, and that's why it's very valuable to us as well. Hand over that private data, or else!

    We and our 871 partners value your privacy. Just saw that on some online shop yesterday.

    Companies value your privacy in the same way weird people value virginity.

    Funny enough it almost never means they care.

    The fact that Meta has a C-suite position that's called Chief Privacy Officer is my favorite absurdly ironic fact.

    I can't imagine how can anyone apply to that with a strait face and clear conscience, but that's prpbably true for most positions at Meta, aside from like Beat Games and the like.

    It literally only exists as a legal liability defense mechanism.

    It is legalese.

    'Value' as a verb could mean in nearly any concievable context or form.

    It just means 'is important to us in some unspecified way'... and then the actual specifics are in the ToS you probably don't read.

    Pretty sure there is no law anyone has to use the wording "we value your privacy". It's more likely to be just something they put there to make more people consent to data processing.

    Its a corpo slogan/saying that derives from trying to do good PR and also simultaneously incur literally no legal liability whatsoever.

    There, that's more precise.

    But yeah, this is why so much corpo speak means damn near literally nothing by way of being immensely vague or misconstuable.
