Honest question though: what of real value can a company gain by knowing that I turned my oven to 350, or that I switched my air conditioning on? Assuming app permissions match what’s needed and I’m not giving up my contacts or whatever. Or is that a more common issue than I realize?
What time you usually cook, so the best time to show you other advertisements, or if you’re in the store once super targeted customer by customer pricing gets implemented (it’s already in place in many locations) then the price raises just for you since you turned your oven on (or will turn your oven on in a few minutes).

I guess I can grant you that they would learn that I eat dinner around dinner time, maybe a little later than most but also not abnormally so.

I’ve seen that stores want to be able to adjust prices based on time of day or whatever, and my store has mostly switched to eink price labels so it’s a matter of time… But per person? How are they supposed to offer one price to me and another to someone reaching for the gallon of milk at the same time?
Would be super cool if privacy mattered to these companies.
