There is a small loophole however. If the data handler tells you that they are collecting your data to do X (usually done in fine prints and T&Cs) then they can use it to do X e.g. sell it to 3rd parties. How many people read the full T&Cs before clicking "I agree"
I agree with what you say but there is more to what you think they are collecting on you.
Personally I don't give a toss as I accepted years ago Govco, Banks IP's etc know more about me than what I know about myself.
No such thing as privacy in this world these days unless you go off grid and live like a hermit but then they probably spy on you with satellites.
