Some ideas:

- Developing/using an open source, privacy minded smart phone. - Use cash or a vanilla debit card that doesn't track you. I was shocked that after I buy a very very particular and specific item at Walmart, I see ads all the time. I believe even Walmart is selling data to advertisers. - Ask representatives to improve privacy laws.

I think on your first point there is something in the works: https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ -- if you don't, unlike me, use your phone for lots of things (like banking, work apps) that won't be developed for this platform, it might be an interesting option.

All the major retailers/credit cards/reward cards do. Acxiom is the big player that buys this data (to resell to ad networks like facebook)

Or an "outdated" platform like (pre-android) Blackberry or Windows Phone

If you're going to run outdated platform, at least choose Maemo :P
