> how personal data may be used even after it's voluntarily provided
It was voluntarily provided under the requirement that said data will not be shared with third parties for commercial purposes.
Once that restriction does not apply anymore, as the data ends up being shared with third parties for commercial purposes, neither does your right to use that "voluntarily provided data".
Imho private information should be handled like a license; Sure I can allow you to use it, but if you break against the rules we agreed on I reserve the right to revoke your license to use my personal information because at the end of the day it's still MY information.
