>How do you grant a company access to your data but prevent them from storing it?

Outlaw it.

>And how does it apply to data a company generates about me?

You store it on a server you control, then provide access to 3rd parties. This is how https://urbit.org/understanding-urbit/ is setup to work.

Ok, so it’s more of a legal framework than a technological one.
I see it as technology that enables the legal framework.
If you don't want them to know what it is, encrypt it. Even if they store it, it's not much use.

If you don't want them to keep it, find a way to invalidate it. (This would be for where the read key is time sensitive.. not sure how to make that work)

> Outlaw it.

Companies always follow the law.
