Say what you will about the pains of implementing GDPR, I think it mostly got the core concepts right. We should implement something similar in the USA. California’s CCPA is a step in the right direction, but it seems to lack any teeth. Apps should not be allowed to collect data on you without your consent. And, they should not be able to just claim they need everything; without a legitimate need you should be able to opt out of tracking like the OP. And finally, the fines should have teeth so that offenders are actually incentivized to avoid infringing, instead of getting a slap on the wrist and profiting from violations.
