If a business cannot survive without it essentially stealing my property (read: my data), it should not survive.

I'm sorry, what data is stolen? If I remember your name after we meet, have I stolen your data?

If it's about remember a name - b/c it was given by choice; so that's ok.

This is copying, not stealing though.

But I agree, taking advantage of me telling you personal info by selling it to externals is unfair without consent

Steal has a bit broader meaning, e.g. 'to steal a kiss', taking without permission.
