The cost of selling my name and details is not worth "deals".

You have a fair point. Personally, I've pretty much just accepted my details probably already are up for sale somewhere. Everywhere seems to either have data breaches once a week, or basically is a data breach (selling everything they know to the highest bidder). The "deals" aren't really anything special for the most part either. Half price/home brand pretty much makes the first list redundant anyway
