How couples navigate different comfort levels with digital privacy and data security

My husband thinks I'm paranoid about data privacy and I think he's reckless with our personal information, so we've ended up with this weird system where I manage all our digital security but resent him for not caring, and he goes along with my rules but thinks I'm overreacting. Neither of us actually knows what level of caution makes sense.
