The Privacy Deal You Never Got a Chance to Read.

You are not the customer when an app is free. You are the inventory.Your location, habits, purchases, searches, contacts, and clicks are collected, traded, scored, and turned into profiles most people will never get to see.The sales pitch is always convenience. The product is always a little more knowledge about you than you thought you gave away.Then the same companies act shocked when people wonder why strangers can predict what they want, where they go, and what scares them.Privacy is not dead because people stopped caring. It got buried under popups written by lawyers and buttons designed to make “accept” easier than “no.”
