Summary
Data about consumers has long been a prized asset of organizations. As Paul Schwartz has observed, the “monetary value” of consumer data continues to grow significantly and companies eagerly profit from consumer data.1 The IoT will foster an exponential growth in the volume, quality, and variety of consumer-generated data. As a result, there will be more of our data available for companies to analyze, exploit, and extract value from. As we have seen in previous chapters, several legal scholars have highlighted the limits of companies’ privacy policies and conditions of use, and the role of these documents in enabling data disclosures.
