Computers (general) / Questionnaire about Computer Confidentiality

French term or phrase: être à croc

Hi, I am translating the answers to a questionnaire about computer and Internet confidentiality. Unfortunately, I only have the answers and not the questions... Here's the answer:

je ne suis pas a croc à la grande confidentialité

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Explanation:
I don't think you need to be too literal for this one.

I'd put something like
"I'm not a fan of privacy"

to be crazy about

Explanation:
I have heard it before - I'm pretty sure it means to be crazy or mad about something or someone (e.g. je suis à croc de lui). So, in this instance, "I'm not crazy about" to retain the slang.

to be gung-ho/big on

Explanation:
Hello,

à croc = gung-ho/big on

I'm not gung-ho or big on extensive confidentiality.

That's how I read it.

I hope it helps.
