- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Unless they take more money from you, they will sell your data to someone else.
Insurance companies? Advertisers? Those things provide value for bad actors more than for you.
