How is this even legal? They could copy my passwords, credit card or whatever and send it to places I’d never know.

- robin_reala 6y agoIt’s not legal assuming they do any processing of that data and you’re in the EU. There they need to have a legal basis to do that, the most common of which is consent. Unless you’ve given that they’re not allowed to process personal information, and that includes info they’ve randomly grabbed that they don’t know is personal or not.

Even in places like the US that have much less legal protection for privacy and personal data, processing some sensitive classes of data is still likely to be restricted by law.
