I think some people believe that this is a single event; like they get your email and that’s it. They don’t realize or care that it is a constant ongoing collection of any and all possible information that is held by a company whose motive is profit. These companies are associating ip addresses with devices and activities all the time. Turns out the older your data the less it is worth. Stop when you can- even if it’s a slow process. Privacy is a human right

For many people it’s easier to not care… they don’t want to bother with long term consequences of their behaviors.

I simply ask them if they would be OK with a company taking money out their bank account.

Your data is valuable. Why give it away for free?
