The incognito icon seems like a great analogy to me.

A person that hides the face with glasses and hat can still be tracked via CCTV, etc., but the data can't easily be associated to the public persona.

No, it doesn’t fit anybody’s real life intuition, because there isn’t an industry of comparing notes about the people we see (with or without disguises). If the analogy requires us to imagine a pervasive surveillance system that tracks you from the moment you leave your door, it isn’t in the intuitive experience of normal people.
