So you're willing to sell off your privacy for a few bucks?
Parts of it, sure.
That's what you're doing if you didn't realize it.
Of course I realize what I'm giving up.
Same goes for any 'rewards club' type cards at retailers: You're giving them permission to gather personally identifiable data on you, for a few measly bucks. How does it feel knowing that there are complete strangers out there that think they know you because of the data they collect on you about purchasing habits?
It feels great sving money in exchange for something I place little value on. I DNFAG that Safeway knows I prefer Coke over Pepsi and that I buy the name-brand cheese that's on sale. I DNFAG that Facebook and Google buy this information and pair it with my driving habits and use it to try to feed me ads or sell it to other advertisers.
How will you feel about it when someone gets it wrong?
I won't care, no matter how outraged YOU get over it.
