There should be strict laws around collecting the data in the first place. Only minimal, absolutely needed data should be collected.
I remember shopping at a well known, large electronics store in NY. The cashier insisted on taking down my phone number and email. When I asked why, he said "if you decide to return the items". I told him I will produce the receipt, but this turned into an argument. I didn't want to waste other people's time over a 30$ purchase, so I just left without buying. This is just a small example of the abuse that we put up with everyday
