If you're paranoid about a _social_ networking site collecting information on your _social_ life, then either don't put that information on the site or don't create a profile at all. Because this is what these sites are for: putting your life online. And the only way to achieve that, is to store it on the company's servers.
BTW, client-side data leaks like the one you described are among the main reasons I never log on to any websites when I'm at an unfamiliar computer system. And no intelligent person should, ever. Not even with HTTPS, as there are plenty of nifty tools available to subvert those measures.
