...and they sell that info to other companies and persons all the time without anyones permission, because they legally can.

Yup, people writing down customer's credit card numbers, drivers license numbers, social security, you name it, was a big risk in the companies I worked for at call centers. Only one place I worked at had a strict paperless policy, although I heard that one of the others has one now. I heard Rogers got in a shit load of trouble because a stack of papers with their customer's info was found in an alleyway or something.
