You can’t imagine how much the Internet knows your personal information and such data can be used by any entities or individuals on other purpose without your notice. To be more specific, advertising companies monitor your online searching preferences to sell you brands that might interest you, government entities spy on the citizens all the time to catch the possible criminals, and even Google and Facebook track all things from you.
