Oh, none of those are exclusive or even new. Your credit rating company has far more info on you that you didn't sign up for.

And AFAIK, and from what I heard from friends working at google, everything is linked to a google gaia account, if you don't have one, you don't exist for them.

Have you deleted your Google and Fb account yet?

They’re tracking my location and correlating that, ads seen, spending patterns, web activity, who I associate with, and all the rest?

I call shenanigans.

if you don't have one, you don't exist for them

Except as a shadow profile.

But you agreed to that, didn't you?

Do you remember agreeing to your credit rating agency collecting your info?

Interesting, source?
