Consumers aged between 16 and 24 are the most conscious when it comes to controlling their data going to companies, as revelaed in a survey conducted in 2019. According to survey results, 32 percent of respondents from younger age groups stated that took actions to limit the amount of data they shared with companies. Consumers aged 35-44 were rather lax about their sharing their personal data, with 62 percent of them saying they did not take any action within the last 12 months to limit their personal data sharing.
