Your logic is going to fall on deaf ears, unfortunately.  Heck, it even says
the same thing you just did on the page linked:

"The list of websites above is stored on your computer only so that you can
view or change your privacy settings or local storage settings. Adobe has no
access to this list, or to any of the information that the websites may have
stored on your computer."

Too many people in tinfoil hats around here for you to be heard!
