    Banks and hospitals sell your information, too.

    When my wife gave birth to our son at the hospital, I have to put down my phone number as part of the check in form. Immediately the next day I got call for “Home care services for new mom and baby”.

      …hospitals sell your information, too.

      I feel so sorry for those of you living in places with for-profit healthcare.

      Oh totally. But they don’t sync that information “immediately”. Nor would they ever want to because then the user would know that’s where the information came from.
