Here's another industry that relies on aggregating your data: Credit reports.

Go ahead. Figure out how to opt out of Experian, Transunion, or Equifax collecting everything they can about you, including pretty much every piece of data needed for identity theft, possibly confusing it with someone with a similar name, and then putting it in a badly-secured database.

No, really, if you can figure it out I'd love to know. Every now and then I am reminded they exist and that they are silently creating these vast troves of data without anyone's consent, and all I can do is hope that if my identity information is included in a data breach, I am both small enough and lucky enough to not be impacted.

And they have an API to these data. Selling your data to data vendors. And now this: https://www.melissa.com/industries/healthcare

Health records used for AI machine learning training . Your health data are in the vendor database . What possibly could go wrong?
