Yes. But what of the governments which take on the data too, allowing it to be collected, legalising collection, surreptitiously collecting it themselves?

All large corporate and governmental entities love the data. Industries (tech, finance, etc) and planned future governance (technocracy) are based on it.

So, it is baked into the plan that days will be collected. It's just whether the individual will know about it.
