The privacy concerns here are not just a matter of preference, but something which could open legal liability. Imagine a person who queries what they think is their local system and instead by accident discloses trade secrets, health information, etc. The disclosure of trade secrets would not just be a mere inconvenience, or something that leaves you feeling icky, but something that could cause serious financial damage.
