I used to have a paid subscription with some IPTV service which is kinda popular in this region of the world. Of course I knew that with internet-based video streams, they could track what and when I watch, but I naively assumed they wouldn't really do much like that... I'm a paying customer already after all...?
At some point, I think it was after the last big football event, they sent a marketing email. In it they listed which games I had watched, with minute-accurate viewing time information. They probably thought it'd be a neat surprise which customers would enjoy reading. I was repelled to see they keep this information in such detail. The marketing e-mail had quite the opposite effect on me.
A while after this, I cancelled my subscription with them. I was happy with their service otherwise - but I paid them to watch things, not to be watched myself.
