Petition Action

Companies/Banks to notify users when their personal data is sold.

Petition Details

Companies like Google and Facebook sell personal data of the users to ad companies, and generate billions of pounds as profit, and pay virtually no or little tax. I would like companies to notify users when their data is sold, so users can stop it from happening or ask for a commission.
