Could you expand on the definition of "doing business with" an entity that you're using here? It seems quite non-standard.

If you open the door to a govt office, are you doing business with the company who installed the doors? If you use the toilet, are you doing business with the company that janitorial services are contracted out to?




No, when you leave that govt office you don't have any link to those companies.

When you visit a site with Google Analytics, they still have your data after you leave.


I see, I think framing it as "doing business" threw me off. Semantics aside, this distinction is meaningful.
