to the cent

I don't know the answer but I feel like you value your data much higher than they do.

My guess is that they just want to squeeze every single cent out of us all, and if violating our privacy and making our experience worse can give them one additional dollar for every 1000 or 10000 users, that is a price they are willing to pay... or to be precise, that's the price they are willing to sell us for.

Your data is worth much more than that, actually.

Proton calculates your data is worth, on average, $700/year. Granted, they have a financial interest in making that number as high as possible, because it's basically an ad for them.

I've read somewhere that data price varies a lot per demographic, with some data being worth just a few $ per year and some other data being worth way more than $1000/y. I can't find the source I read that on, so take it with a grain of salt.

Either way, it's very certainly more than a few cents per year per person.
