Everyone knows that companies collect private marketing data (and share this information between buyers and sellers). But this episode really shines a light on how this information can be dangerous in the wrong hands.
Although (at this time) people can't do much about it, this episode brings some of the hidden aspects about data collection to the surface. This episode makes listeners aware of the implications of secret & shared collectable data-points that can enhance (or frustrate) their daily lives.
