There’s an implied consent. I know that creating a Gmail account means that Google has access to all my emails. By using Gmail, I’m relatively aware that they’re building an ad profile on me, and I implicitly consent to that.
But if I found out they’re collecting the bloodwork pdfs my doctor sends and selling them to insurance companies, that would be objectively beyond any reasonable consent.
If you’re selling me M&Ms, I have a very very low tolerance for what I consider appropriate data collection.
