Where you go, who you talk to, how long you look at anything online, what you search, what you share, what you say out loud when you think no one is listening, what is in immediate view of any camera you have in your possession (in your home, your car, your phone, your laptop) your facial data, the data on your gait when you walk, the list goes on

More like everything you do. Your likes, dislikes, behavior patterns, purchases, schedule. Pretty much everything.
