    True, but then the data about me you have are useless if you only look at them.

    Marketing data is always kept close by the owners but they sell access or the data would be worthless.

    If the original company wants information about you, they don’t download everything from a marketing company. Like using Google, you type in your search and get a result. That search result is used and forgotten. You don’t have to download all of Google to use the results.

    The 3rd party wouldn’t be fined because if you knew who they were, you could send them a Gdpr and they would respond. The problem is knowing who these companies are.
