Firstly, I’m not against privacy or anything, just ignorant. I do try to stay pretty private despite that.
I wanted to know what type of info (Corporations? Governments? Websites??) Typically get from you and how they use it and how that affects me.

Because you don’t know where this information will end up. Companies often get hacked and the information leaks out.
Your email, address, phone number can be used to spam and scam you.
Other information can be used to make scam you more effectively, or even scam your relatives if they sprinkle enough seemingly private information in it.
Your public photos and videos (tiktok, YouTube) can be used to make a deepfake of you and end up online to blackmail you.
Ask yourself what you have yo gain from sharing information online, and remember that the internet never forgets.
