Questionnaire about Computer Confidentiality
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!

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

to be crazy about
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
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.
