It's pretty much impossible to determine whether or not the businesses you are going to are collecting and/or selling information about you. Most people have to get loans and use bank accounts, so in there's plenty of information there, and even without those entities can buy profiles of you and/or your household based on your habits on the web or even what you watch on TV. Ironically, the only control you can exert over that information, assuming you even know it's present and can prove it violates some sort of law, is through the government.
