So you don't mind that banks can sell information about where you were, who you are and what you buy, mobile carriers sell information about who you are and where you live and whom do you call? Treating you as a "consumer" without any rights.
The only way to opt from being sold is not to provide information about yourself. Which is called anonimity. Use anonymous cash, anonymous bank account, anonymous messengers, anonymous SIM card. Sadly, most governments don't allow this because they don't want to trust you and they are not at your side but at the side of bigdata traders.
So today you can buy drugs anonymously using Telegram, but cannot buy something anonymously on Ebay using Paypal without filling out a long form with passport data as if you were applying for US visa.
