Is it the company's fault we are willing to give them this data or ours? I think it is ours. I don't put anything in email or on my phone that I don't want out there. So they know what type of bike I ride and what I buy with a credit card, that doesn't bother me. If it is something I care about, I pay cash or don't put it in electronic form.
