Ask HN: What companies use User data for good?

5 points by eurticket ↗ HN
With the big events with data breaches from companies such as Facebook / Cambridge Analytica as well as Equifax coming to light, what is the value from a user perspective of the companies harvesting data and are there any companies that can claim the data is being used for good?

Supposedly 23andMe uses their genetic data of their millions of users for good, to help research and identify genetic problems/solutions, etc.

All those which are pledged to take initiatives to ensure full conformity with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If a person doesn't give his or her agreement for operating their personal data by 05/25/2018 each self-respecting service owner or company or even a gambling database like https://bettingcasinoslots.com/20-free-no-deposit-bonus/ should permanently delete all the users' data.
