I think it unlikely they have my email address in the first place; however, any such communication would end up being read as thoroughly as all those invitations I get to increase the size of a body-part I don't possess and to provide security information for various banks.

Under what circumstance would anyone need to give McDonald's any personal information? You can't even pay by card can you?

Marketing? Free Wi-Fi? You can by card btw.

Also, when you read the statement it sounds like MD's are trying to pass the buck a little. "Well, err, we wanted, erm your data, erm, so we hired company x, and so, err, they hired Company Y who hired err, hired Company Z, and erm, they sold it, erm, they sold it to Company A."
