Philip Morris

Age-verified direct marketing collects identity documents and builds detailed consumer databases under the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement's marketing restrictions. The newer exposure is connected devices: PMI's own consumer privacy notice says consumers can register devices with PMI and that it may collect data generated by devices such as IQOS - including puff count, battery use and number of cleans - when the user chooses to share it via an internet connection or a PMI app, so a consumption pattern for a health behaviour flows to the manufacturer — a data category with no clear regulatory home.
