Dear Valued Framework Customer,

We are writing to inform you of a data breach at our business intelligence database provider Metabase that resulted in an attacker accessing customer names, email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses. Your information was in the database that was accessed in this breach. This breach did not include order or payment information.

Just arrived into my inbox.

I have and do look at it from that angle, my point was that the need for data collection isn't a guaranteed thing.

Even if you narrow it down to just the subset of companies for which continuous "shareholder value" is a requirement.

If it was the only avenue to profit i'd agree the need was universal, but there are other ways, some mutually exclusive.

Though i will conceded that data collection is one of the common ones.
