Thanks for the details. > choose to provide it for a reduction in the transaction fees they pay. That would explain why I can use my credit card for rent without a transaction fee! No free lunch!

FWIW in Illinois, where I’ve experienced this, there is a bill https://www.ilga.gov/ftp/legislation/102/billstatus/HTML/102... that appears to be GDPR-esque or CCPA-esque. Seems to have little inter

There are quite a few interesting tracking flows out there. My rent is paid through a company called Bilt. I discovered that when I shop at Walgreens now, Bilt sends me an email containing the full receipt of what I bought like so:

That matches my experience too. If leadership even uses the word “layoff”, no matter the context, it’s coming.
