If NO is selected the Service or App supplier must legally NOT collect any data from the person using their service/App.

Currently users cannot easily stop the collection of their data, which is a gross violation of their right to privacy and are then bombarded with Ads and especially emails from all sorts of companies, which requires a great deal of time wiping them from our access devices .

A further area that needs cleaning-up concerns the delivery of emails and Ads to businesses which costs the company a great deal of unproductive time and cost because employees are either spending time reading them or erasing them.
