In an age in which personal information is relentlessly harvested and aggregated, we’re eager to reap the benefits – but we lose sight of the fact that Internet giants, leading retailers and others are gathering data often with little oversight from anyone. Adam Tanner will explore the Wild West of data capture and all the ways our personal information is driving commerce, whether we know it – or like it – or not.
