I don't think there is a misunderstanding. Some of us don't want any data collection, at all, for any reason.

Perhaps Mazda can't sell my data without violating their stated policy, but who ever heard of a company violating their policies?! Can you spell f'book?

I've had one Toyota. I cut the CAN wire to the air bag module so it couldn't access ECU data.
 
actually one could verify that its off :)
What it collected prior to that point is what one cant verify.

Or, you can buy a degoogled smartphone.
