Some great things about companies that you can always count on:
- They never change their terms of service
- The demand for constant growth never causes them to reconsider ethically dubious revenue streams
- They never get acquired

- They never ever get hacked, and even if they do, the insurance compamy would feel immoral to buy the hacked data dump

Also, does anything prevent them from selling your data to a middleman who then sells it to an insurance company?

Then why do they hold onto it instead of destroying any record after transmission?
Because it's an asset, and they are there to make money. Not because they are doing it out of the goodness of their own heart.
You can't take back information.

Curious. Is that binding forever? Are they not allowed to ever change that and then retroactively give out data?
