Companies can and do get away with arguing that they have a "lawful basis" to collect whatever data they'd like. It's unfortunate.

IANAL, but the law seems a bit vague to me, and it appears that companies use that vagueness to their advantage. Maybe I'm just not articulating my arguments correctly.
