@ "Your data probably isn't that interesting or important."
"Important data" being collected is clearly those UK users who havent paid for TV license, the premise being that no one would ever really opt out of the BBC service. Personally I have not watched read or listen to anything from the BBC for a few years now and do not miss it especially the propaganda of whichever party is currently in power and those minorities that use the BBC as their forum.
Offering BBC content for free to people outside of the UK allows the stupid continue to believe that the UK is still a world power so that has to continue regardless.
One wonders if the remaining license payers are getting value for money from this witch hunt, even if the dragnet actually caught anyone
