Who wouldn’t choose convienince when their data is being used for their benefit? Unfortunately, data is a double edged sword. Once collected it can also be used against you, but once out of your control you have no ability to remove consent or reclaim the data.

On top of that, how do you steam music via your mobile phone without providing data to a 3rd party? And if your solution involves anything more than an App Store, and doesn’t include any form of customer support, I’m not sure you truely understand who you are specifying this solution to.

Now of the solutions realistically available to this user, which do not capture and retain data on the given user? And which will not change their policy in the future to do so?

People are aware, and tired. But I think you could better relate to their situation if you considered trying to live your life without creating carbon, or at least to become carbon neutral. What you understand about your carbon footprint, others understand about their data footprint.

Zero, or worse still, a bunch of half baked and misconceived ideas that result in a negative outcome.
