The gavel is mightier than the checkbox

Your privacy preferences (perhaps we should start calling them preferences instead of settings, since they really only express what outcomes we would prefer not what actually happens) don't trump a court order or a search warrant. If the authorities are part of your threat model, relying on a checkbox isn't going to do you any good.
