What causes me the most irritation (to put it mildly) is that I bought the Sygic navigator that seems to be the source of this data. And still they sell my data? Just last week they forced me to agree to some new rules to be able to use the app but I already bought it 7 years ago. I will be requesting my money back as stated by that agreement, and request a GDPR data dump for moving my data to another provider.

Unsurprisingly, they're refusing my request.
So, essentially, I'm now locked into this agreement with Sygic for the duration of my "lifetime" license.
This is one of those situations where I'd wish I had some "fuck you" money to throw at an expensive law firm.

Sygic don't even have a Privacy Policy link on their homepage, you have to dig for it a buried legal documents page.
Your privacy is not something they care about except as something to sell to others.
