One reason that threat modeling for your digital privacy/security is harder than it looks is that most people don't know what data is being generated about them and who has access to it. https://www.proofnews.org/womans-talkspace-therapy-app-sessions-exposed-in-court/

Analysis Summary
Therapy app Talkspace stores 140 million patient message exchanges and has disclosed transcripts in court cases without full patient awareness โ€” creating a window into intimate mental health conversations that can be used against users in legal disputes. This directly illustrates the post's point: most people don't realize what data apps collect or who can access it under legal process. The case of nurse Jennifer Kamrass shows her employer obtained her Talkspace therapy transcripts via court order and used them in litigation, despite therapists being bound by confidentiality rules. Meanwhile Talkspace has faced prior scrutiny from senators and NYC regulators over data sharing with Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta โ€” practices the company later agreed to limit, suggesting the privacy concerns are structural, not incidental.
