 My dad's in charge of an online shopping site for one of the big supermarkets. I heard him talk to mom about this huge private healthcare company who are trying to contact his customer database to get them to sign up to their healthcare plans. Only they want him to divide up his customers into health eaters and unhealth eaters with the idea that they'll try and sell their health insurance to their health eaters. The healthcare company are offering the supermarket a £100 commission for everyone that signs up to their plans. He said he's facing a dilemma because that money would help us replace that in Paris in the heat that my dad drives and he's not breaking any rules within the supermarkets incredibly loose online privacy policies. However, that means releasing customer data, contact details, eating habits to some random company which can make people annoyed. Should a company be able to release customer data in exchange for money?
