MODERATORS
You give company A your data for a service. They provide you that service. However, unknown to you they sell your data to company B to make a few bucks. You did not authorize this, you did not know about this, you don't know who company B is, and you have no idea to what purpose company B will put your data to. Best to not have this happen by not giving the data to company A to begin with.
Or admire the glory of GDPR.
