Since the privacy policy explains in clear English that your data will be sold it would be more deceptive if they didn't sell your data.

  And since no one actually reads the privacy policy, users likely expect that the only data they're retaining is about email subscriptions, and that it will only be used internally and not sold to 3rd parties. It's still unethical.

    If someone has strict privacy needs, why wouldn't they read the privacy policy? Read it or don't read it, it's your choice. But if you choose not to, don't complain that the terms you agreed to don't work the way you arbitrarily expected them to. That's on you, it's not unethical that the terms don't work the way you want them to.
