Putting here for anyone who wants it
Just going by the link, is this not for marketing and unrelated to the sale of data?
To my knowledge, this opts you out of having your data sold for marketing purposes, under whichever nebulous definition they choose for marketing. LN will still have your data and collect it, but they would be unable to sell it for marketing purposes. I am just beginning my journey to opt out of everything I can, especially in light of recent news about automakers selling your driving habits to insurance companies.
I've been radicalized, it seems.
