As a corollary, any private information that a publicly owned company has is for sale (since the company could be bought or merge), and any information any company has can be force-sold during bankruptcy proceedings. Any time a company has physical access to your data, and says they will not sell it, they are lying (unless it is privately held, and never takes on debt / pays after delivery). In particular, EULAs and other contracts do not protect your information in the above situations, since debt and shareholder obligations generally come before customer obligations, and the data is considered an asset.
