You should be able to request any personal data to be deleted. If the company in question leaks anything, they are responsible. Here the bonkers american style punishments might actually be the way to go.

That aside, I would like the option that says "do not collect the data". It wouldn't even be hard.

Sure there is knowledge and advantages in that data, but that doesn't even come close to the benefits of privacy. Think the general public opinion about X is pretty stupid? If so, you'll need it too.

The idea you don't need to trust society and the government is very attractive when ridiculous abuse has been done to you and you've had to manage the fall-out.
