&gt; <i>If you&#x27;ve got someone that dedicated to watching where you go, you probably have a larger problem than just the information existing in a database (i.e. a stalker, abusive ex, etc.) and that problem needs to be dealt with.</i><p>Indeed. I&#x27;ve been trying to convince mine that their &quot;affection&quot; isn&#x27;t appreciated, but I don&#x27;t really know how I can avoid them. They&#x27;re known to abuse many people, although most of their victims will actually defend them as not so bad as others. And since some of them own the courts, I can&#x27;t even get restraining orders!<p>(The &quot;recorded and stored&quot; <i>is</i> the problem. Framing the situation as you&#x27;ve done is just  unproductive, as it detracts from &quot;dealing with&quot; the new all-interested stalkers of governmental and private sector data mining)
