    The truth is much worse. If you read the TOS of most of these companies they state that they do not sell your data, and this is usually true but only by technicality.

    They rent your data out.

    After all, why would you sell something once, only profit once, and lose it in the process when you can lease the access to it over and over again instead for more profit.
