Its not charity, I allow them to collect my data so that they can use it to improve the service.


Then you are being charitable.


No since I'm not giving my data for free. I expect service improvement as a return.


You're already paying for the service. The service improves because the business providing it has to stay competitive to keep getting payed.

A business is not obligated to improve a service just because you donated your telemetry data.


Yes and in addition I also pay with my data. I didn't simply donate my data. I expect the company to use my data and my money to improve the service. Even with money, the company is not obligated to improve service just because you pay.

If they stop improving, I'll stop paying them as well as stop giving them my data.
