Hypothetical scenario: I am an advertiser and I want your personal data. How much cold hard cash would I have to offer you for you to willingly give it to me?

Some percentage of the value it provides you.

That's kind of a weak answer. The data 's privacy might be worth much more to you than i the data itself is worth to the advertiser. Remember the advertiser won't keep it private after they get it.

I assume the marginal worth of one person's data is nothing. It's when you have lots of people's data that it gets valuable.
