Yes, it is true that some companies misuse customers' personal information. Companies can misuse customer information for a variety of reasons, such as to improperly share private data, to market goods and services to customers without their consent, or to sell customer data to third parties. To prevent such violations, governments have enacted laws that protect customers' privacy, such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation. Despite these laws, cases of data misuse still occur. It is important for customers to be aware of the data they share with companies and to make sure that companies are abiding by local privacy laws.
