What? The data that you've visited a mental health support website plus your IP easily takes you into GDPR sensitive data territory, and the rules around this are super strict: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-9-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-9-gdpr/.
You absolutely should not be handing that information about people to random marketing companies without consent, let alone with informing users. In France, Germany & the UK I would expect that this is a clear & major breach of GDPR and who knows what else.
If you read the report, there's also sites where you fill in a quiz about your mental health & depression, and they forward that data to services like qualifio.com ('The leading Interactive Marketing &Data Collection Platform').
That's definitely concerning. There's no way this is reasonable behaviour, and we shouldn't accept it as such.
