This is where I diverge from most HN users, I do want companies to use my data to suggest products to me, better relevant product suggestions I love it, I would like it if some day I could turn on the computer and there was an ad for a product I did not know about and I definitely wanted. That would be great.<p>The thing I don't want is them using my data against me, which is about all they seem to want to do. For example figuring out that I will pay more than other people for that product is using it against me. Figuring out that I have a higher likelihood of a medical condition because of my searches and then reporting that information to insurers would be using it against me.<p>So yes, use the data to benefit me, and don't use the data to harm me.
