It’s important to understand that in the USA, data is owned by the collector (eg. The app or SaaS who generated it), not the person who is described by it.

Until this legal regime changes, we will constantly be playing whack-a-mole with laws like this.

That sounds like something Europeans would do, so it's anti american.

In Europe, who owns the copyright of a photograph? The subject or the photographer?

If a company writes down my personal information do they now own it?

I believe that the Bern convention stipulates that they now own that particular expression (e.g. formatting) of your personal information.

Check before relying on that.
