I absolutely believe in the right to privacy. But I don’t think the right to privacy extends that far. I think it’s kind of unreasonable that everyone else loses their rights to record data to protect your right to privacy. This runs counter to the first amendment and makes journalism impossible. It also makes it impossible to do things like monitor the police.
No entity has any right whatsoever to retain any data about me, for any purpose.
Your rights end where mine begin. My right to privacy trumps everyone else's profit motive.
Edit: Scratch that. Our disagreement is more fundamental. I believe humans have a fundamental right to privacy. You don't.
