Yes, it is true that some companies misuse customers' personal information, such as selling it to companies who may use it for marketing or for other purposes not consistent with the customer's expectations. To protect customer privacy, most countries have laws in place regulating how companies may use customer data. However, not all companies abide by these regulations and some have been caught misusing customer data, often leading to major reputational harm for the companies involved.
