Data Collectors Are Getting Worse

I have been hard on Online Data Collectors and won't be letting up anytime soon. Online Data Collectors are modern day telemarketers. There is nothing more annoying than trying to do something as simple as vote on a poll and be required to register your personal information. Once these data collectors get your info, you know you will be spammed until your 1 GIG mailbox fills up.

I understand the need to collect some personal data to help companies better serve the customer. The reality is that most instances only require a suggestion box. This suggestion box would require companies to actually sit down and address these issues. Instead, we get spammed into oblivion with opportunities to purchase hats and t-shirts.

Companies need to learn that they have to earn our trust. Over time, we will slowly give some personal information voluntarily. The information you receive from these customers will help your company. It is hard work but the rewards are well worth it.
