I don't understand how one could prevent companies from making copies of this data. Presumably their service provides an API to access the data (one time or limited time). All it takes is one dev storing it in the database and your privacy model is ruined. That said I didn't read the whole paper, so if there's a way around this im happy to be told

The answer would be incredibly hardcore privacy laws, backed with incredibly hardcore enforcement, in all jurisdictions.

In other words - a very dark pipe-dream.
