- alkonaut 4y agoWhat the hell would someone even do with such data? I get that you can figure out addresses/phone numbers/emails nad correlate individuals etc. But what about all the other fields? If someone says "It's sold in bulk to companies who try to datamine whether the field values '48', 'yes' and 'Other' makes it more/less likely for you to buy car insurance in the future" I'd be...completely unsurprised
